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.

“Don’t look any further! There is a reason why Gulf to Bay has all 5 star reviews. Andrew and Darlene were perfect from first contact. I felt like I was speaking with friends from the very beginning. There were no hidden fees, and they stayed in contact with me throughout the entire process without being intrusive. There is nothing easy about losing a loved one, but they made this part of the journey as easy as it could possibly be. Highly recommend! After we picked up my Dad we toasted to his wonderful life with a cold one.”

“From start to finish, the communication with this place has been absolutely amazing. Being in a different state can make things stressful and uncertain, but they made the entire process feel easy, smooth, and reassuring. Every question I had was answered quickly and clearly, and I always felt heard and supported. Their responsiveness, kindness, and attention to detail truly went above and beyond. It meant so much to feel connected and taken care of, even from miles away. I’m incredibly grateful for how seamless they made everything and couldn’t recommend them more.”
— Rebecca Kottwitz
“Andrew was always kind, compassionate, and very prompt with responses at all hours. We appreciate all you have done. Thank you”
