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 purchased a cremation package and have called several times to change and follow up regarding the funeral service scheduled for this Thursday. Unfortunately, we have not received any response. We would appreciate a prompt call back to confirm the arrangements and ensure everything is in order.”

“We used Vondel and Smith for both my parents and they did a beautiful job for both Mom and Dad. They are very caring and took care of everything for us. The facility is so beautiful and kept clean; they took time to make this difficult time so peaceful for us.”

“If I could give zero stars I definitely would! We have used this funeral service for a couple of family members it was beautiful. However, that all changed May 26, 2025 when my sister passed. We contacted vondell for her services because we loved how they treated us previously. This time no compassion at all instead judged like we weren't going to pay them because supposedly my dad had a balance from eleven years ago. Which we did not know and I'm pretty sure it's illegal to blurt that information out to people who were not even references. We felt attacked, less than, and definitely like second class. He kept saying how my dad had a balance and rushed to get my sister out of the house. The 467.00 to get my sister moved from this company was the best option. Do better we all were planning to use your services when we pass but definitely will not be returning. If someone owes you you should not take it out on the rest of the family and turn a tragedy into a collection attempt. My sister battled ALS and struggled she deserves to rest in peace and we deserve to moarn with compassion.”
