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.

“Both of my parents used Crown Cremation Services so I've had 2 seperate experiences with them. Both times were, all things considered, very nice. Everyone I've interacted with were polite, kind, gentile and caring. They offer free personal grief services as a sort of "wrap program" which I had no need for, but I can imagine plenty of people do. It's nice that it's offered :) This ladt time I was in I picked up a price sheet and inted to get things set up for my partner and I so our children don't have anything to worry about. I absolutely recommend Crown Cremation Services for anyone interested in preparing for life's final time with a compassionate caring company.”
