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.

“When my father died in Jan 2017 who ever my mother had to deal with propositioned her for her prescription pain medication and he would take some off the bill. This also happened with my Aunt when my uncle died years before. Both offers were denied. For any human being to ever be like that in a time of grieving and financial stress is truly disgraceful.”
— Quite Frankly
“I found Kevin to be very uncooperative. Only HE could make any decisions. We had to do a lot of things that were automatically done for my dad, sister, brother. It was like he cared nothing about us or even HIS business in Eldorado springs. I would not recommend this funeral home.”
