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.

“Lewis Funeral Chapel provided exceptional service during one of the hardest moments of our lives. Riley Beneux went above and beyond for me and my family, guiding us through every step with genuine care, patience, and compassion. Her kindness and attention to detail helped us honor and celebrate the life of our beloved Lady Di with dignity and love. We are also grateful for the support of Xavier Griffin, whose gentle service added to the comfort we felt throughout this process. And special shoutout to Sydney as well for her care and assistance. Our family is truly thankful for their professionalism and their hearts. Highly recommend.”

“This funeral home thinks that it is okay to use generative ai to make obituaries without asking the family beforehand. It shows complete lack of care and compassion for the love ones who are grieving.”
