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 work as a Funeral Pre-Plan Director with Penwell-Gabel and from the first moment of communication with Andrew with Laurel, every thing went very smoothly. I appreciated having him assist the family and the follow up he provided. He asked all the right questions and gave a level of trust to the family we were both serving. I felt like the family benefited by having somebody in their corner and we benefited as a funeral home by knowing that the family would be well cared for after the funeral service has been completed beyond what our typical aftercare can provide.”

“My husband and I had intended for years to make prearrangements for our funerals but never got around to it. I learned about Andrew from a previous client of his and decided now was the time to get this handled. Andrew proved to be very easy to worth with and extremely knowledgeable about our many options without being beholden to any one company. He helped us quickly narrow down solutions that felt right to us, accompanied us on tours and stuck with us through the complete process. As a bonus, he motivated us to document important information that our family will need when the time comes. It feels great to have this all finally handled! We highly recommend his services for the peace of mind he offers.”
— Peggy Shults
“What we anticipated to be a difficult and depressing process, Laurel somehow turned into a comforting and shockingly enjoyable endeavor. They made themselves available according to our timeline, were always prompt and had immense patience as we navigated all the options that were made known to us. Whatever you may be looking for, I am quite confident, Laurel will far exceed.”
