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 husband and I used Penwell-Gabel for my mother's cremation and memorial service, including contracting for flowers and food through them. From start to finish, we were treated with professionalism and kindness. Every single person we encountered through the process was responsive and warm. The prices were transparent and about what I anticipated. We never felt pressured. The memorial service went so smoothly; I never had to worry about a thing. We could just focus on grieving and connecting with family and friends. Thank you, Penwell-Gabel.”

“Losing my husband was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through, and Penwell-Gabel went above and beyond in caring for him and for our family. We chose a simple goodbye, they treated him with such dignity—he looked amazing, and it was clear they took great care in every detail. John, in particular, was our liaison and truly made an unbearable time easier. His compassion, communication, and guidance meant more than he’ll ever know. Because of the experience we had with John and the entire Penwell-Gabel team, I will always recommend them to my family, friends, and colleagues. Moving forward, this is the only funeral home my family will use.”
— Neena Kremer
“Our parents passed 17 days apart from one another. Robyn at Penwell-Gabel handled our situation with love, caring and empathy. We could not have had better experiences with the staff at Penwell-Gabel.”
