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.

“Planning for a loved one's death is never easy, but Hardage-Giddens Rivermead Funeral Home made it seem easy. Almost 2 years ago when I had to prepare for my mother's passing, the representative walked me through the Planning with ease. Mom passed away last month and the website, the programs, banner and mom's urn were very tasteful and allowed me to concentrate on the memorial which turned out beautifully.”
— Tina Garcia
