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.

“I had a similar experience like a previous reviewer posted, Lisa. The service was fine but after many phone calls to Donna to get my father’s headstone engraved it never was done. 2 years of me asking and all I was told was “Didn’t my daughter call you? I’ll be sure she does”. She basically refused to finish the job. If you don’t want to do your job at least have the courtesy to tell me I need to go elsewhere. My family has dealt with Grontkowski since I was a kid. This was my first and definitely last time I will arrange anything through them. Sadly not the same as it was years ago. I had another funeral home in town help me. Just one phone call and she arranged everything to get my father’s headstone engraved. I thank her for that.”

“Absolutely horrible. We explained that our loved one had an insurance policy and we would sign it over when we got it. Most other funeral homes do this. We even had proof of the policy. They said we had to pay up front cash or card. We did. They messed several things up and never fixed them. We asked for a small marker like we saw on other graves, they refused. We called a week after the funeral to request more thank you notes and they refused. They even messed up the obituary with typos after we provided an electronic copy! Just a classless and uncaring place. When you need caring, supportive professionals, this is not the place to go.”

“My ancestors and recent family members have been serviced through this honorable Funeral Home for well over three quarters of a century. They have always been understanding, caring, and very thorough. They are a legacy in Funeral Services. Thank you, Donna for your graciousness, and providing us a closure for our loved one who left us. God Bless.”
