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.
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 cannot say enough good things about Burpee- Scott. They handled every situation I could think of and situations that I would have never thought of with dignity and compassion. My father's funeral was preplanned and prepaid, which made things easier but there were still several things that needed to be handled and Burpee-Scott handled them effortlessly And respectfully.”
— Michael Edwards
“Mr. Jody Scott and all of his staff are PHENOMENAL!!! My baby brothers funeral was so very well done and they took care of everything for us. They all made us feel like family. They helped us get through such a difficult time and I would highly recommend them to anyone. BURPEE-SCOTT FUNERAL HOME IS PROFESSIONAL AND WE ARE SO BEYOND THANKFUL FOR THEM!!!”
— Terri Harris
“This was my family’s second time patronizing Burpee- Scott services and our first doing it exclusively for a relative - I literally CAN NOT emphasize enough how great of an experience this was during what was and is a tremendously tragic time for my family and I. Jody is simply the best - the entire family, staff, facility - EVERYTHING! My aunt was important to us but Burpee - Scott made us feel as if she was equally as important to them too. There will not be another potential funeral home my family could consider at this point after such an amazing experience. Death is inevitable but finding a business that makes you feel loved and valued is the best reward during such a difficult time. I’d recommend them to anyone and everyone on this side of heaven.”
