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.

“Buried my husband today and from start to finish I have been working directly with Mr. James Williams. I have received nothing but professionalism and the utmost respect from him and his staff. They were patient, accommodating, and made the process as easy as possible for my family and I. Whatever I needed, they came through. We will use them again should the need arise.”
— Ashanti Bratton
“I used this service to burry my father next to my mother and it was a big mistake. The staff at Williams notified me that my father was not going to be buried next to my mother the morning of my father's funeral allowing me no time to make timely arrangements. This company is very unethical, no one else from my family will be buried here. They ignored my dream of having my married parents buried side by side, didn't bother to offer me the slightest apology. They also rushed me to make a last minute decision where to bury my father while i was grieving two hours prior to my father's funeral”

“I wish there was a selection of no stars. very unprofessional. The women at the front door have a sour attitude. They do not reply to emails. They do not respect all family members and make decisions based off their personal views and not the deceased final wishes. very calculating and manipulative”
