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.

“Everything was handled quickly, thoroughly and with empathy. My pet’s remains and keepsake was presented to me in a very lovely box full of additional information, a lock of his fur and follow up services available if wanted/needed. Thank you for helping me through this phase of my grief by helping me honor him.”
— Starlett Chesser
“They were absolutely phenomenal with my after life preparation for Chandler. I could not have felt more at ease and supported than what they gave. Their love for pets shows in their work. Thank you for all you did!”

“Very poor experience. We unfortunately lost our dog on January 16th at OSU unexpectedly and I have had to call in and check on our baby, there had been no communication on their behalf. As of today 3/3 we still don’t have our boy back. I was told he was in the Que last week - personally I could think of a few better ways to say that. Our dog was our kid and it’s difficult enough and this process has not been a great experience.”
