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.

“Kelly Squires was exceptionally kind and helpful, guiding us through a very difficult time with patience, understanding, and professionalism. She thoughtfully accommodated our requests and made the entire process much less overwhelming, providing reassurance every step of the way. The staff at Yates Funeral Home, including those who transported my father from the hospital to the funeral home and the teams at both the Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie Blvd offices, were consistently courteous, professional, and compassionate, making us feel truly supported throughout. We are deeply grateful for their care and dedication during this time.”

“We are John J. Ferry & Sons Funeral Home in Meriden, CT, and we recently entrusted Yates Funeral Home with the care of a family we were serving here in Connecticut. From our very first phone call, Jessie was attentive, respectful, and genuinely kind. Throughout the entire process, the staff at Yates Funeral Home were extremely helpful and professional. They assisted with scheduling the flight and ensured that all necessary paperwork and personal belongings were handled smoothly and promptly. Their communication, compassion, and attention to detail made this out of state process seamless. We are truly grateful for their support and would highly recommend their services to other funeral professionals and families alike.”

“From the time that I called Yates funeral home until the day that everything had been taken care of in The cremation of my husband Michael. I can't say enough about everyone at Yates funeral home. When I called I was unsure of myself, I was nervous, trying to plan for what was ahead of me, and Nicole was so patient on the phone, so kind and told me not to be worried about asking questions. About asking questions that's what she was there for. All I can say is I had to do this all by myself, by the grace of God. I met Yates funeral home and their loving family, I can't say enough about them. So comfortable at a time in your life when nothing seems comfortable. If you ever need them for anything, feel free to call them. They're more than happy to answer your questions and guide you alone along. No pressure, they just want to help you. They are fantastic family and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for helping me get through. Well really terrible time in my life but they somehow they made it easier for me. So God bless the whole family”
