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.

“I cannot recommend Holman-Hankins-Bowker & Waud more highly. Both Tim and Ron were incredibly sensitive and responsive during one of the hardest times of our lives. When my dad died suddenly on a Sunday evening, emergency services recommended HHB&W. Ron called us back immediately and arranged for transport of my dad's remains that very night. When we met with Tim the next day to arrange a private viewing and cremation, he took care of everything with such professionalism and genuine kindness. He was respectful of our budget and never tried to upsell us unnecessary products or services. Both Tim and Ron were timely and responsive with all paperwork, administrative tasks, and posting of the obituary. They provided true comfort during an incredibly difficult time, and we are so grateful for how good they are at their jobs. Thank you, Tim and Ron, for everything.”
