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.

“Columbia funeral home was very helpful with all information. You will need in a difficult time. From pickup to burial”

“When someone passes away your brain is split in a thousand different directions. Most of the time the loss is sudden & emotional. The who what where & when is a nightmare in itself but the arrangements can be a daunting task. My father just died no arrangements had been prepared so i was starting from ground zero. I got in contact with Holly and she gave me a quick call & quote of what I wanted for when the time came. After a few days my father passed in the hospital . I made 2 calls one to other family members & 1 to Holly. Holly got my father within hours and I met with her the very next day. Holly sat with me going over the cost and listened to what i wanted. There was No snake oil salesmanship No uncharges just what exactly what i wanted. The team and Holly treated me and most importantly my veteran father like family. Holly even came out of a meeting to see me and my father off when i p/u his cremated remains. So if you want your loved one to be treated like family with the upmost respect. Contact Holly and the team. Im hard to please ask my wife.. lol. You won’t be disappointed and you won’t have to worry about your loved one. Thank you.”
