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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our loved one was in such caring hands.

“Our family had many requests in preparing a celebration of life for our mother. Vodrazka FH was on board throughout the process. Our mom lived a long fulfilled and exciting life. Our family wanted her memories to be part of the celebration. Vodrazka FH played moms favorite music from the 70 & 80's which many enjoyed. There were no tears just everyone honoring her with love. Thank you Vodrazka FH for your kindness and compassion.”
