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.

“From the very first interaction, the entire team at Brown’s Funeral Home demonstrated an extraordinary level of professionalism, compassion, and care while serving our family during the homegoing of my father. From Diane to Cindy, every staff member treated us with dignity, patience, and genuine kindness. They guided me through each step of the process with grace, ensuring that no detail was overlooked and that my father was honored beautifully. Their responsiveness, attention to detail, and calming presence brought me comfort and confidence during one of the most difficult times in my life. Thank you for your compassion, professionalism, and for supporting our family during such a time. Brown’s Funeral Home truly goes above and beyond, not just in service, but in heart. Our family is deeply grateful for their support, and we would highly recommend them to anyone seeking care, respect, and professionalism during a time of loss. Warm regards, Dawn”
