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.

“Disappointed is an understatement. My Grandparents are buried here in the military section. I change the flowers out every season. I visit often. SOMEONE IS EITHER STEALING FLOWERS OR THROWING THEM AWAY. I have called the office twice and today I personally went in to speak with them. There answer is we cannot monitor the flowers. No one asked me where my Grandparents are or their last name. I am furious. They just kept saying the same thing we can't monitor the flowers. I said well I spend a lot of money on them can you please ask the maintenance crew if they have seen anything and her answer was we cannot monitor them. No I'm sorry or any sympathy. I left there in tears today!”

“We are so grateful to Karlene Brown Campbell and the team at Good Shepherd Memorial Gardens for the care and support they provided during such a tender time for our family. Karlene helped us find a beautiful resting place for our mother, and we couldn’t be happier with the spot we chose. It brought comfort to know our mom would be laid to rest in a location that felt peaceful and right. Karlene took the time to walk us through every detail and explain all of our options clearly. Thanks to her patience and guidance, we were able to come to a decision that everyone in the family felt good about. The grounds themselves are beautiful—green, well-kept, and full of peace. Whether you’re driving through or walking the grounds, there’s a sense of calm that surrounds you. We truly appreciate the dignity and care with which everything is maintained. Thank you, Karlene, for your kindness, professionalism, and for helping us find a place that honors our mother’s memory so well.”
