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.

“Our family was so appreciative of Fort Hill's work when my mom passed away. Karen was wonderful to work with. She was patient with all of our questions, made herself available by text if needed, and made sure Mom's stone was exactly what we wanted. We took a good bit of time making our selections and she never rushed us or got impatient. Would recommend working with her and with Fort Hill to anyone.”
— Rianna Wilson
“My husbands passing was unexpected. Karen was very professional and deeply kind during this period of time where I was highly unfocused and grieving.”
— Wanda Adcock
“I would just like to start by saying thank you for offering a safe and pleasant trunk or treat experience. I have multiple family members buried at this location and have purchased a few other plots. I have always felt very welcome and truly cared for with my experiences. The trunk or treat experience was awesome, I brought my 11 yo niece and she absolutely loved it. And looking forward to next years event. Keep up the good work”
