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.

“Ive utilized Magnolia many times over the years. Brady has been very personable and kind every time.”

“I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. McKinnon and his wife, Juanita about 5 years ago when my husband passed away during COVID. The McKinnon's and their staff were the most kind, caring and professional people you can meet. They were very understanding of my situation, met every need and even went above and beyond to ensure every family member was satisfied with the final arrangements and funeral service. From beginning to end, Magnolia Cremations and Funeral Services were top-notch. My husband was put away quite nicely and I was pleased with the services rendered, as well as, the price of the service. The memorial CD video received has warmed our hearts over the years and will continue to do so for years to come. Five years later I will still refer Magnolia Cremations and Funeral Services to those looking for a great business to handle the final arrangements for their loved ones. THANK YOU FOR SERVING WITH EXCELLENCE!!”

“Messsssssyyyyyyyy! To be honest, the experience was not bad at all! My loved one was handled with care! I went to these people for the cremation of my grandmother as she requested! I had POA over her while she was alive! None of her kids came around or did anything for her so as her oldest grand daughter I stepped in as I have done since I was 18 years old! So! After paying for my grandmothers cremation I had to get her kids to sign off on it! The same kids who left her alone for years but wanted to show up when she was on her death bed! The guy who handles the cremation arrangement, paperwork etc took it upon himself to be messy and tell one of her deadbeat children that an insurance policy may be involved and winked! A funeral home shouldn’t involve themselves in family matters nor adding fuel to any fire especially when you do not know a family’s history or background! What you did was ignite a fire of false information which caused backlash from my family and probably a pending court case due to the threats that have been received! I came to you guys because I was referred by the hospice team who helped me care for my grandmother! If you are looking for cheap, this is the funeral home for you, if you are looking for professionalism, take your business elsewhere! My grandmothers obituary still has not been uploaded and I emailed it a month or more ago!”
