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.

“I am very satisfied with the services provided by Fairhaven Memorial Chapel for my family. Jason communicated effectively with us throughout the process of bringing my dad, who passed away in the U.S., back to Nigeria. The flight details and pickup time were accurate. When my siblings received my dad at the morgue in Nigeria that we had chosen, they confirmed that he was in excellent condition and looked just like himself. The service cost was reasonable compared to the quotes we received from other funeral homes. Overall, it was a seamless experience, and I would highly recommend Fairhaven Memorial to anyone needing their services.”
