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.

“The staff was amazing!! Mike was kind considerate, and very helpful . He made my 80 year old sister in law feel very comfortable while dealing with her husband's passing. Extremely professional experience. Emily was so sweet in walking her through it all and helping her with her husband's wishes. Thank you so much for the compassion and care you showed to her and her husband as well. Greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Joe and Linda Jackson ❤”
