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.

“Green Street Mortuary was a true blessing during one of the most difficult times for our family. From the very beginning, everything was handled with such care, professionalism, and genuine compassion. Elaine, in particular, went above and beyond for us while we were arranging my mother-in-law’s memorial. Her kindness, patience, and attention to detail made an overwhelming process feel manageable and supported. She listened to our wishes, guided us through every step, and made sure the memorial truly honored my mother-in-law’s life in a beautiful and meaningful way. It’s rare to find people who combine professionalism with such sincere empathy, and Elaine did exactly that. We will always be grateful for the respect and care she showed our family. I highly recommend Green Street Mortuary to anyone needing compassionate, thoughtful support during a difficult time.”

They are with you every step of the way during the service, and try to accommodate your wants and needs during the planning process which they are responsive via email, phone, or text...that makes your decision making process easier.”

“It’s a killjoy in the vibrant mood of North Beach—insisting on life’s end right in the middle of a lively street. Could it not have been tucked into an alley, where we wouldn’t have to be reminded of death? Isn’t there a time and place for everything? Let’s hide death so we can live in the illusion of life. I have never liked the tawdry scene of brass bands, black hearses, pigs sitting on top of horses!”
