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.

“We used Shirley’s for our wedding arch design - we walked to most of the flower / lei shops on maunakea and Shirley’s was the most affordable, they were friendly and communicative and worked great within our budget. They also provided set up for the arrangement on the day of the ceremony, 100% recommend for wedding floral needs”

“Only reason I'm giving Shirley's Flowers 1 star is because they delivered my order on Mother's Day as expected. The $80 arrangement thru 1-800-Flowers, ordered more than 2 weeks before Mother's Day, was supposed to be a One of a Kind Florist's Special Design. The arrangement my mother received was cheap looking and ugly. It looked like they ran out of flowers and swept up the cheapest stuff off the floor of their refrigerator and stuffed it in a vase. NOT ONE ROSE was in the arrangement - on Mother's Day - but they managed to put in 2 nice lilies and a plastic "Happy Mother's Day" insert. 1-800-Flowers did their part and refunded 1/2 the cost when I offered photos. They also chose to send a replacement order of their Fields of Europe arrangement at no charge. Later that day I received a call saying that the florist couldn't create that arrangement and instead would send 2 dozen long stem roses. I was fine with that. Then, a few hours later I received a confirmation email for 1 dozen red roses. At that point I gave up and figured I was ahead. Fast forward to today. I logged in and found that the flowers had NOT been delivered as promised. I called 1-800-flowers to find out what was going on - they said the florist, Shirley's, had rejected their replacement order. FYI, I've spent over 2 hours (over many days) on the phone with them trying to get to some kind of fair resolution with this transaction. This situation has been a complete pain in the butt. By the way, Shirley's is the ONLY florist that 800-Flowers works with in Honolulu. So, if you need or want to send flowers to someone in Honolulu, don't use Shirley's/1-800-flowers. Do some research and find yourself an ethical florist who knows how to create something beautiful.”
