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 laid my grandfather to rest yesterday and I felt it only necessary to review today. This place was amazing! We really wanted to make it personable because my grandfather was an amazing man, veteran, father, husband, brother and so much more! These people were so helpful! They even added their own touch. The environment seems more of a celebration of life than a passing and I really appreciated that. It’s extremely clean and so professional. Shawn Woody and Sue were amazing to work with! Anything we needed they were on it. This loss was a tough one for me so I really really appreciate every single person involved. My grandfather deserved the best and Sue and Shawn made sure that’s exactly what he got”

I’m not from here so I was unsure of the funeral homes here, but they made the process very easy. If and when I have do deal with this again, I will definitely reach out to them.”
