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.

“Every parent's nightmare came true for me when I unexpectedly lost my daughter. I had called a couple of funeral homes, trying to make the best decisions that I could, within a realm that I could afford. When I was talking to a dear friend, she recommended A.B. O'Donnell Cremation & Funeral Services, P.A. From the moment that I spoke to Ally, I felt comforted. She has so much compassion and truly cares so much! She was so supportive, and was so wonderful walking us through the process. A.B. O'Donnell held a beautiful service for my daughter! I had so many people tell me how impressed they were. Their standard of care for their customers, and the loved ones of their customers, is the best I've ever seen. I've had services for other family members, and I feel that the whole experience with A.B. O'Donnell was better, at a fraction of the cost. I highly, highly recommend them!”

“Thank you Alexandra! From the first moment of contact, your attentiveness and exceptional customer service shone through. Every element of the service, from planning to execution, was handled with such grace and care that it allowed our family to focus on celebrating my dad’s life and legacy without added stress or worry. The respect and reverence you and your staff demonstrated toward both my dad and our grieving family members did not go unnoticed and will forever be appreciated. Angela Sudler and Family”

“I cannot express enough how grateful my family and I are for the services provided by Allie O’Donnell during my grandson’s funeral. Allie was not only professional, but also very personable and comforting during this difficult time. From the initial meeting to the final moments of the service, Allie went above and beyond to ensure that everything was handled with care and attention to detail. Her compassion and empathy were evident in every interaction we had with her, and she truly made us feel like she was part of our family. The service itself was beautiful and touching, and we could not have asked for a more fitting tribute to my grandson’s life. Overall, I would highly recommend Allie to anyone in need of funeral services. She truly exceeded our expectations and made a difficult time a little easier to bear. Thank you, Allie, for all that you did for us.”
