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.

“Everyone at Lunning was wonderful to our family when we lost my Mom. We had done some pre-planning with Rochelle a few years ago so that made things go so much smoother when the time came for her visitation & funeral. They have even taken time to check in on me and pass on information about after care & counseling during our grief. I will always use Lunning Chapel to care for my loved ones when their time comes.”

“After losing both of my parents in a year and a half, I had the unimaginable task of helping plan one service and planning one service on my own. Believe me when I tell you that the funeral home you choose makes a significant difference at one of the most difficult times of your life. Honoring and respecting the lives of my parents was all I wanted at those moments and I needed the proper help to do so. While the first service was not provided by Lunning Chapel, thankfully the most recent one was. Everyone I worked with was empathetic, knowledgeable and efficient. As much as planning my Dad's service could be made comfortable, it was. It all came down to the Lunning team listening, providing guidance, and genuinely caring about meeting our family's needs. I'm comforted knowing I made the best choice to honor the end of my Dad's life. Let Lunning Chapel be your best choice, too.”

“Maggie was exceptional to work with. I was going to be out of town the day of the funeral and Maggie and the Lunnings team offered to get mom ready a few days early so I could have a private viewing. They called someone who was not at work and he agreed to come in and do it for us. I will never forget their thoughtfulness and offering to do such a kind and meaningful thing.”
