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.

“Very helpful and sensitive at this difficult time. They made everything easy, mostly done over the phone. I could have waited for them to mail the death certificate, but they were close to my home so I went to the office to pick it up. Village Cremation made my grieving easier. They were helpful, efficient, non-intrusive and made things seamless.”

“Village cremation services was fantastic. The staff were so helpful and caring during this very difficult time in my life. They were very empathetic and sincere with me after lossing both my dad then my mother with in 5 days of each other. Helped get the ashes home and gave me all the information needed to track their travels to my home in another state. I cant thank them enough for all their kindness, help and understanding.”

“Balboa Cremation was very helpful with me in the Funeral Planner assisting me with preparing, planning and understanding all that was necessary with what I and my family had to do with us being in another state and this situation happening in the state of CA where my Son resided. The young lady who helped me through this process was very compassionate and patient with me in answering my questions when something would come up and took care of so many details for us to make this complete, simple and help in preparing for final resting. Thank you.”
