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.

“During the most difficult day of my life, Tammy and Beth came out immediately and comforted me. Tammy, and the entire team at Autumn Green took the absolute best care of my sister, and walked my family through the entire process with compassion, kindness, and love. We never felt alone, and knew we could call at any hour with any question, no matter how small. The team stood by us and helped up make decisions, remembered all the things that we couldn't think of at the time, and never stopped making us feel like we were their family. I can't thank them enough, or recommend them enough to anyone. They are truly the kindest and most compassionate group of people I have ever worked with. Our sincerest thanks to Tammy, Beth, Ann, and everyone else at Autumn Green.”
— Leanne Kelley
“The feel of this funeral home is comfort. Greeted consistently with utmost respect and professionalism, Tammy and her staff have been there for several family members, most recently Mom. Having only dealt with one other funeral home as a family member, and having friends who own other properties, I honestly had no idea that this experience could be anything more than cold - A business transaction in which you're offered standard condolences and a painted on smile. In a world of high priced, stale environments, Autumn Green offers a comfortable home to sit and discuss the life lost, concerns, questions, and a cup of coffee with someone who feels like an old friend.”
— Amy Brown
“Tammy and her staff are wonderful at what they do. Our family used Autumn Green after my fathers recent passing. Kind, compassionate, easy to talk to, forthright. We are grateful to all of them. Tammy is a gem.”
— Darlene Gerry
