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.

“Andrew has been amazing right from the start. Professional yet kept it light and personal. First experience with loosing a loved one and he and the staff made it very quick, painless and light hearted. Thank you all for taking such great care of my mom.”
— Kristen White
“The whole experience with this funeral home was superb as could be for the circumstances. Andrew helped us right from the beginning. I can't imagine anyone could have been more helpful, informative, caring, understanding, accommodating and whatever else you would want out of a funeral director. He was exactly what our family needed during a very difficult time. The place itself was super clean, inviting, and well taken care of. On top of being everything we wanted it was also significantly cheaper than the other 5-6 surrounding funeral homes I called.”
— Bean Stalk
“My family was so impressed with the cordial reception they received and the caring and understanding that was given by the director Andrew. At a time of pain and sorrow, the service ,and compassion extended to all of us was absolutely fantastic. It couldn't have been accomplished any better, it was flawless. Sincerely, John and Murphy”
