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.

“Elizabeth was compassionate, helpful and patient when helping me discuss the planning of my final wishes. The services that we discussed and were offered were what I was seeking. She went above and beyond to advise me of an option called an "Ossuary" that allowed me be "interred" in the same cemetery as my deceased fiancé who was buried in his family's plot. I might not be able to be buried with him but this helped me get as close to him as I could get. I would have never known about this if Elizabeth had not known about it and shared it with me. Bless you Elizabeth.”
