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.

“We chose the Burke-Magliozzi Funeral Home because it just felt like my partner when we walked in. Joel and his team were absolutely amazing to myself and my partner's family during this incredibly difficult time. They provided guidance and support from start to finish (and then some), they were reachable when we needed to get in touch, and were very accommodating. The service was absolutely beautiful, and I can't thank them enough. I rarely write reviews, but wanted to thank them for everything they did. I highly recommend Burke-Magliozzi.”
