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.

“Worst experience possible. Ruined what could have been a beautiful service, then showed no actual concern or regret for their actions. The before, during, and after funeral process was simply terrible. We are all heartbroken”
— Angela Robinson
“Amazing. They were outstanding. Mr Vaughan went above and beyond. Super nice and very compassionate . He handled up on everything and made my mother look so beautiful. It was amazing. If I die, this is who I'd trust to take care of things, and I'd want Mr Vaughan to handle it.”
— LeeAnn “September” Serio
“My family has had several passing family members that were handled at this location. We were very pleased with their professionalism and made us feel like family. They are reasonable and took care of every detail to meet the families needs. When my time comes, this is where I will request to be taken as well.”
