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.

“The Kaniewski ‘s funeral home is such a beautiful and lovely place where we held our Mothers service recently. The attention to detail, organization, and professionalism was outstanding. We cannot thank Mike, Tim, Leona and the rest of the Kaniewski family enough for their upmost caring, generosity, and empathy during such a difficult time in our lives. Everything was perfectly planned, and they made us feel so special with all of the little extra touches they provided. The Kaniewski’s are truly angels for everything they did for our family. We cannot thank them enough.”
— Kellie Koszyk
“Our family would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our funeral director Tim Kaniewski, Mike Kaniewski, Leona Koszyk and the entire Kaniewski family for their guidance, patience, graciousness and sincere empathy in honoring our beloved Mom. Everything went perfectly and our Mom’s service was absolutely beautiful! They were so considerate of our feelings and their kindness is limitless. They made a very sad and difficult time more tolerable and they will always hold a special place in our hearts.”
— Kimberly Kalman
“The place is beautiful. Well taken care of and clean. But when I walk in and see my mother-in-law's name totally wrong on the podium showing which direction it was absolutely heartbreaking!. Luckily we went early and made them change it from Donna to Diana. Please pay attention to these very important aspects of any funeral. Professionalism is needed. At least they changed it.”
