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.

“Engaging Personnel Quality Ambience Excellent Video Production Bad Church Service - Priest Sparse English Delivery and Dialect Highly Disappointing and Inappropriate in that very little content could be understood by everyone. Acoustics also terrible. Woman Singing during the Church Service was spectacular. Amen”

“We recently entrusted the services of our Dad to this funeral home and couldn’t be more satisfied. Steve and Jared handled everything with the utmost respect for our Dad and our Family. Every request we had was met with compassion and a sense of urgency to ensure we were happy with the results. We know our Dad would have been proud of how his life was honored, and for that we will be forever grateful! Thank You… The Centak Family”
