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.

“The family owned Valley Funeral Home provides prompt arrangements while subtly expressing their condolences . I really appreciated how they weren’t overly compassionate or pushy but were able to identify the needs of my family and easily accomplish them with care that comes from sincere compassion and experience. While in the office I was impressed by the spirit of unity that the family operates in. This allowed my situation to be less awkward and more comfortable.”

“We had the privilege of working with Jose and his wife this week. The details were carried out quickly, smoothly, and attentively. Jose was quick to answer and would confirm with me daily the items we had discussed thru out the day. The day of the service (which was for my mother-in-law), where the casket would be closed, he shared a special custom of his that we had never experienced. He allowed the family to take as much time as needed and gave her children the opportunity to close the casket, all together, when they were ready. I really can't speak highly enough about the attention to detail, the patience, and efforts put into making a sad time go as smoothly as possible. So lastly, although there office can give you an initial, "Is this for real, or will this be a Dateline NBC story," I assure you Jose is the real deal. Blessings and Thank You again Jose!!”

They made it easy for me even when I had prearranged in another city, they took care of everything and where honest about it. Again I would recommend valley funeral home Stockton. Thank you Jose.”
