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.

“My experience with Mr. Cantu and his family grew out of my ministry in Refugio, just north of Corpus Christi. He came into a town where funeral services were largely supplied by a very nice funeral director and his beautiful facility. Having been in the funeral business years before, I introduced myself to Mr. Cantu. I found him to be a genial, and very proper and professional businessman. Several families spoke to me of significant savings and less perceived pressure in facing bereavement, while using the services of Mr. Cantu. Mr. Cantu provided the same quality of goods and professional services, at a lower price point. It was that simple. Even though I have been away from South Texas for several years, I still count Mr. Cantu, his lovely wife, and family to be dear and respected friends.”
