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.

“Jennifer and Randy Kelley are a great team that worked very well together to help with my son’s celebration of life. I truly appreciated their help in every area of need to make my part in preparing for my son’s service go smoothly. Even waiting in freezing temperatures to make sure everything was finalized at the committal site. It was a good experience during a sorrowful time and I’m thankful for Jen and Randy’s expertise in their positions at Nelsen.”
