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.

“Tri state cremation goes above and beyond! I live in Summersville but my father passed away at St. Mary's hospital. We called around several places and Tri-State cremation was the only place that was affordable. This was the first death in my family that I had to make arrangements for and I'm so glad that everyone at Tri-State cremation helped me because I didn't know what I was doing and they talked me through it and helped me get all the paperwork that I need to do. They communicated very well with me so I understood everything that needed done. I highly recommend them.”

“I spoke with Lance initially over the phone while seeking options for my Father who had recently passed. He was very helpful with providing information and support regardless of if we chose to utilize their services. I really appreciated that. Ferrell-Chambers Funeral Home made sure everything was taken care of and coordinated for his care. Each step of the way everyone was very patient, helpful, and made the whole process go as smoothly as possible. It was nice to have an option of a viewing and service at the funeral home prior to cremation. Pricing was very reasonable, too. They did an amazing job setting up everything for the visitation, adding personal touches that reflected Dad and what he loved. He looked fantastic, too. We are so thankful.”

“I was very pleased with the services we got. It was comfortable and friendly setting. Lance was very patient and helpful. He explained everything to us.

They took very good care of our father and we are grateful for that.”
