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.

The staff went above and beyond to support our family, making us feel cared for and understood every step of the way. The experience was as peaceful and comforting as it could possibly be, and we are so thankful for their guidance and support during this challenging time.

“Our family has used Durst Funeral Home for 3 generations. They are extremely professional and highly consistent. Most recently, our mother passed away in SC. Stephanie seamlessly took care of all the logistics regarding her transfer to Frostburg. The service was beautiful. Stephanie was always available to answer our many questions and did her best to insure no detail was overlooked.”
