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.

“We’ve been talking about making our funeral arrangements for several years now so when the opportunity to meet with Dignity representatives presented itself we were ready. Throughout the entire process, Michelene was so helpful and reassuring. The process was easy and she helped us purchase exactly what we wanted, without any pressure at all. We are grateful to be prepared for the future.”

“We worked with Richard Trigilio and he was wonderful. He was so knowledgeable and went over every option with us until we made our final decision. We never felt pressured or rushed. I really feel like pre-planning will be such a blessing to our family.”

“I can’t say enough about Ridout's-Brown-Service Prattville Chapel. Tisha and Beth made this whole experience bearable. No request was too much, no time was a burden, they cared for my brother truly. Tisha has known us forever so for her, this was family she was caring for but Beth never got to meet my brother, yet she cared for him and every little detail as if it were her own child. I have never been more grateful. They both did an exceptional job. I can never thank them enough. The services were perfect because of them, their dedication, and the love they have shown.”
