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.

“⸻ When my 14-year-old sister passed away, our family was completely heartbroken. We knew about traditional funerals, but we also knew that wasn’t her. She was unique, and we wanted something that truly reflected her spirit. That’s why we chose the Mortuary Center of Southwest Louisiana and I can’t say enough good things about Chastity and her team. From the moment we walked in, we felt a sense of peace. Chastity told us she was going to take care of everything, and she did exactly that. She made the process smooth, personal, and full of compassion. We left feeling at ease, knowing our sister was honored in a way that felt real and meaningful. Chastity was absolutely amazing, and we’re forever grateful.”

“When my angel transitioned, Chaisity and her team delivered a beautiful homegoing service beyond what I could’ve imagined. I couldn’t even think straight from trying to process everything, the team handled everything with grace and professionalism. From the time we drove in to the service and afterwards, we were treated like family, consoled, and my baby boy was resting so beautifully.”
