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.

“Every detail from beginning to end was perfectly taken care of. The staff is gentle and very helpful. I felt no pressure at any time. I highly recommend them.”

“I can't express my gratitude enough for their services. They were compassionate, personable, and informative. They worked around my schedule as I was coming from out of town to take care of my brothers services. They took calls after hours and even came in early to put his remains in the urn (that arrived later than expected) in time for his end of life ceremony. Just all around great people and excellent service. So thankful!”
— Samantha Nuttall
“Thank you so much for the services you provided during the passing of our loved one, Emanuel E Wright. We were pleased with everything from start to finish. I could not have asked for anyone better to care for Emanuel. The staff, the attention to detail, the courteousness, was superior! Thank you again for kindness during this somber time and also, my 9 year old niece was so impressed with the toilet paper :-)...It truly is the little things that leave an impact and Burke Mortuary did just that and more !!!! Again, thank you. Dawn Roberts and Emanuel Wright Family”
