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.

“Pre-planning is the best gift you can give your children. This facility met every need and has extra support and special touches that make a hard time manageable. Free grief support services are also available here. They took great care of our loved one.”
— Susan Van Fossen
“So very kind! They were there if we had questions but not intrusive. I'm so happy my dad made his plans there as well. They couldn't have been more accommodating.”
— Julie Gossett
“Attended a funeral today at this place. there were so many people that a lot of them had to sit sit in the overflow room. I'm sure this is not the first time this place has experienced this situation. You would think that that they would have a system set up that the over flow room could see and hear what was going on in the main room. Very disrespectful to the deceased family and friends.”
