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.

“My sister moved to Ohio and passed away shortly thereafter. I am not from this area, but was directed to this funeral home as one of many suggestions from the hospital. I was not in the mood to "shop" and I am so glad I made that decision. Mr. Koch and his daughter were so helpful and so wonderful. It is as if they knew exactly what we needed. The situation of grief is never easy, but these fine people made it exactly that. They gave me such peace of mind knowing that they would take care of my sister. Thank you isn't enough sometimes, but THANK YOU! from the bottom of my heart for taking care of my sister like you did. You run a wonderful family business and I sincerely wish you all the best. Thank you Kimberly North”
