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.

“The Neptune Cremation Society - Paramus provided me and my family with exceptional service. Elizabeth, in particular, was companionate, caring, professional, and detailed. She kept me informed every step of the way and answered my questions immediately. Having no experience in this, coupled with it being a very difficult emotional time, she put me at ease and ensured my loved one was being cared for with dignity and respect. Furthermore, Elizabeth followed up with me well after the fact and even sent a thoughtful message acknowledging my loved one's first birthday after his passing. Please consider using their services as I was overly impressed with a service that nobody wants to think about, talk about, or plan for. Ask for Elizabeth...I will say you're welcome in advance.”
— Ryan Muller
“The reason I called the Neptune Society was because I had received an invitation addressed to me personally. I had been thinking about cremation and it was an appropriate time for me to discuss it further and so I called the number that was on the card. I got a telephone response that I had requested and made an appointment with the person that I spoke with. She came to my town and waited until I could have my daughter join me. She answered my daughter's and my questions thoroughly. There was no high pressure at all and I signed up for their offer. The price was affordable and complete for what I needed. Everything was done very professionally and sympathetically. I certainly can recommend the process and the presenter.”
