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.

“The Team at Andrett Funeral Home are absolutely wonderful. They are kind, patient, professional, knowledgeable, and never pushy! They take the time to listen to you and assist you during very difficult moments. They go above and beyond to make sure your requests are carried out in the way you want them. They made themselves available to answer questions and walk me through certain steps I was not familiar with. Each member of the team was so kind when I called and I always felt I received extra TLC! Jennifer, Joel and Team, I can’t thank you enough. On behalf of my uncle and my family, and myself, thank you, thank you! You helped ease the pain of a very sad experience.”

“The staff at Andrett Funeral Home are wonderful. During what was a very difficult time for us, it was a tremendous relief to have Andrett Funeral Home staff handling all the arrangements. Gregory helped us with any, and all of our requests. He called various churches and organizations on our behalf to see which ones would be able to accommodate our needs and saved us a lot of time. We are grateful to Andrett for their professionalism, kindness, and compassion.”

“After the funeral home I was working with was unwilling and unable to help me, I called Andrett for advice on repatriating the remains of a relative internationally. Jennifer answered and couldn't have been nicer, breaking down the complicated process in simple terms. I think it says so much about this funeral home that they were generous with their time even though I wasn't yet a paying customer. I would definitely reach out again and ask for Jennifer if our family had another need. Highly recommend.”
