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.

“Kelley & Spalding Funeral Home has been wonderful to work with. They have made a challenging process as easy as possible and guided us through all of the details, despite contacting them on a holiday. We really liked that they only do one service per day, so we were not rushed or crowded. Their recommendations for a reception and officiant were both wonderful. Kaitlin and Kelsey went above and beyond helping to engage with our preschooler so we could fully participate in the memorial service. We recommend Kelly & Spalding without reservation.”

“We had services for my brother and dad at Kelley & Spalding. The care and compassion from every single person there really helped us through those days. From planning, set up, assisting guests, transferring flowers, to a special chair for mom... they were supportive and helpful. I’ve attended many services here and always observed the same care shown to all. They’re the best I’ve encountered.”
