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.

“We had the privilege of working with Earthman and Zelma in 2019. The death that had occurred in the family was a huge shock to us, and Zelma couldn’t have been a more perfect person. When I saw her name again to help me with a death last month, I immediately felt relief. I truly feel there isn’t a job more perfect for Zelma. She is the definition of calm, cool and collected, and offers the perfect amount of sympathy yet guidance in some of the darkest times of your life. She is knowledgeable and something about her just makes you trust her from the jump. I think she was meant to be a funeral director, as crazy as that sounds. Although I don’t want to work with her in the future, I hope to always be assigned to her if I have to be. She’s the best! I would pick Earthman over and over again as long as she’s working there.”

“Zelma is extraordinary and we had a wonderful experience at a hard time in our lives. Highly recommend them!”

“The customer service and ease of planning made the decisions much easier to make than I expected. The facility was beautiful and the service went very well. I used the catering which made it so easy to have the reception afterwards without any additional planning. Will was so responsive and patient with all of my questions and requests. I was so pleased to be able to honor my son in this special way.”
