You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
Ask whether assignment is available for your policy and location, what fees apply, and what you must pay upfront. MedaSynq does not arrange assignments.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
Know Your Rights
Under the FTC Funeral Rule, funeral homes must give price information by telephone and a written General Price List when you visit in person. Federal law does not require them to send the list by mail or email. You can select individual goods and services and use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“I highly recommend this Home and in particular Maureen Duffy as professional, courteous, and most especially, empathetic funeral service providers. At every step of our journey, Maureen was informative and very sensitive to the pain and heartbreak we were feeling. She answered our questions fully and supported any and all choices we made. She never pushed us towards one decision or the other but compassionately gave us full information then supported our selections. She was also very responsive whenever we emailed or called with a question or request. It is nice to know that nice people are in this difficult profession.”
