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.

“We recently lost a close immediate family member without having pre-planned arrangements and I contacted Thiele-Reid Funeral Family Home in dire need of assistance. Steven showed extraordinary empathy and compassion from the very first conversation, guiding our family with patience, kindness, and genuine care. The space itself is beautiful, with a bright naturally lit and warm, home-like atmosphere that brings comfort the moment you walk in, and through out the entire space. It is unlike the traditional dark and depressing atmospheres I have experienced in many other funeral homes. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, creating a peaceful and dignified setting to honor our loved one. We are deeply grateful for the comfort and professionalism shown to us and highly recommend Thiele-Reid Family Funeral Home to anyone in need during this difficult time.”
