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.

“From beginning to end Sunset memorial made my mom's transition with grace and professionalism. My mother didn't want a funeral at all but we did a very small informal viewing for my immediate family. They treated us just as professionally as if we had a huge funeral. My mother looked beautiful and at peace. That is something that was definitely needed. Would give 10 stars if I could. Knowing how time and life works I know we will definitely choose them in the future for their services.”
