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.

“We live in the area. This place always has a "natural gas smell" coming from it. There is almost always piles of trash(clearly from here) just left by the back door for days sometimes weeks at a time. It's in such poor condition that homeless people have started living not on the property, but inside the structures on the property.. If this is how they treat the place and the neighborhood, i can only imagine how they treat um "clients."”

“I give this place negative 5 stars. My mom passed away yesterday and I am calling around for prices and services. The woman that answered was incredibly rude and I literally felt so disrespected that I hung up on her. I will never use or recommend this place !!”
