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.

“Extremely professional, yet sympathetic and friendly staff. They take care of so many things, so you don’t have to. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful in navigating the entire process. Our family has used Bauer twice and will do so again when needed without hesitation. When my dad was in hospice, they took the time to listen to what we wanted and offer options for that and didn't try to sell us what we didn't want. It was greatly appreciated.”
— Dan Warren
