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.

“This was the hardest time of my life. My husband passing was sudden tragic and traumatizing. Ducro was amazing. Guiding me through this whole process. Helping me with every aspect possible. My husband's home going service was beautiful. All the right touches. He looked amazing peaceful. They allowed me to do his hair for the service something I did for many years and it was a comfort to have that time with him. I was able to do everything in one meeting from making the arrangements to picking memorial items for our family. At a time when lost did not begin to describe how I felt. They were a guide and a comfort.”
