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.

“I recently had the opportunity to work with Riverdale Funeral Home for my Father viewing and funeral service on December 24,2025 and I cannot express how grateful I am for their support during this challenging time. The entire process was seamless, and the mass was conducted flawlessly. Throughout the planning, the staff demonstrated incredible sympathy and understanding. They were always available to address my many questions and requests with patience and compassion. I wholeheartedly recommend Riverdale Funeral Home to anyone navigating the grieving process. Their dedication to providing a comforting and respectful experience is truly commendable.”

“Riverdale Funeral Home took care of my mother’s arrangements in late 2025, and they absolutely went above and beyond for my family. From the first phone call through the final goodbye, everyone we dealt with was patient, clear, and genuinely kind. They handled details calmly when we were exhausted and overwhelmed, and my mother’s appearance and the space for the services were dignified and exactly what we hoped for. No funeral is ever easy, but Riverdale made a very difficult stretch of time more bearable, and I’m deeply grateful for how they treated my mother and all of us. Highly recommended.”
— Aldemar Diaz
