“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.

“Ruck funeral home was exceptional at a time where I could barely think. They went over every charge and did a few favors for me when my son died unexpectedly . I am not sure why people gave them bad reviews years ago. I found them to be sympathetic and understanding.”
— Marie Durling
“Ruck did an absolutely amazing job for our family with my Dad's death. They were kind, patient and compassionate and my Dad looked the way he did before he was hospitalized. We greatly appreciate all they did and highly recommend them.”
— Michelle Smith
“When our daughter passed away from ovarian cancer at the age of 43 we wanted the best care for our girl. There was never a question of which funeral home we were going to entrust her to-Ruck Funeral Home. The beautiful, sensitive way they handled all the arrangements for the viewing, the Celebration of Life and delivery of the casket for the interment validated to us that we had made the right decision. Thank you, Michael Ruck. God bless you and your staff.”
