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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 called on Labor Day (a Monday, a holiday, and a day when everything was closed)… by some miracle I happened to reach someone. As soon as I mentioned that I was reaching out about a wake/funeral that was occurring that same Wednesday, I was met with “how can I help?” I sent pictures of what I envisioned and I couldn’t be happier with the advice, pricing, help, and final arrangements. Everything was beautiful and just how I pictured it to honor an amazing life. I cannot thank you enough for everything.”

“5 stars for beautiful flowers and delivered on time. I am always hesitant ordering flowers long distance as I have had bad experiences. I read the other reviews about this shop and wanted a "local" florist and not a "1-800flowers" situation. I called from SC for delivery there in NJ and the arrangement was identical to the photo on the website. Highly recommend this place.”

“The best florist around. Our wedding flowers were gorgeous and working with AU was seamless. My family regularly goes here for flowers as well and Robert never disappoints!”
