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.

“Nevin and his staff were so helpful and kind during the time of losing our grandmother. The service was beautiful, they paid attention to every detail, it was perfect. Our family would recommend Fry Bross and Spidle Funeral Home and use them again if needed.”
— Brooke Cox
“This place is a complete joke. Rule number one of funerals: LEARN THE NAME OF THE PERSON IN THE CASKET! they couldn’t even manage to pronounce our loved ones last name correctly ever, and it’s a very simple name. The pastor allowed a rogue family “friend” to give a 20 minute speech about their extreme religious beliefs that had nothing to do with stories about the deceased. He also had problems with his “sermon” and speech at the gravesite. Not sure if he is a speech problem but, practice your script before hand so you know what you’re saying. That’s actually what you’re being paid for. I would give this place negative stars if I could.”

“Very warm, friendly, compassionate, and professional staff from the initial call through the entire process. We had a very good experience considering the circumstances of losing a family member. Update:. After the loss of a second family member at the beginning of the pandemic, I have to change the rating by removing a star.”
