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.

“If I could give zero stars. I would. Our family had a terrible experience with this funeral home during one of the most difficult times in our lives. They refused to honor the original agreement that was already paid for and later demanded more money with a completely new contract. Because of this, we had no choice but to move our family member to another funeral home. Now they are refusing to return the money that was already paid, leaving us no choice but to pursue legal action. It should not matter that we are all Hmong. Families deserve honesty and compassion during a loss. We experienced neither here. Please avoid this place.”

“The ordeal is too long to write out. They insists that we owe them money but when we showed them the documents, it showed that we paid over $18,000 and now they don't want to give the money back. Also citing that we cancelled on short notice. But we were trying to work with them to continue to have service there. They left us no choice but to move on. No family should have to deal with greediness and scams while still grieving. Avoid this funeral home. We were not the only family that they have done this to.”
— Dao Lor
“Warning!!! Horrible, disrespectful, & unprofessional management. Extremely hostile & aggressive communication and poor documentation, leading to confusion, changing prices, and not honoring signed agreements. Very shady practice. We were forced to take legal action. If I could, I would give negative stars.”
