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.

“Ms. Carolyn kept me informed during the entire process. She went above and beyond. I had forgotten to take earrings to the funeral home for my niece, and on the day we were to give the approval for public viewing, Ms. Carolyn asked me if it was ok that she had put earrings on my niece. I thanked her and really appreciated that. All of the funeral drivers were very professional and I cannot thank them or Ms. Carolyn enough for the support provided my family and me at that difficult time. If you want professional and caring service after the loss of your loved one, I highly recommend Roberts Funeral Services.”
