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.

“I'd like to thank Hughes Funeral Alternatives for their caring support during a difficult time. My mom happened to be laid to rest on my dad's birthday....Jon officiated for us as well at the service held at Jefferson Barracks and he ended with the most beautiful poem. His thoughtfulness, grace and compassion will always be remembered. More importantly, I will always remember how I felt at peace after his words were spoken. Thank you Jon. Thank you Hughes Funeral Alternatives. God Bless you! 02/06/26”
