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.

“This funeral home is a soulless cash-grab — they treat your loved ones like garbage and charge you for basic humanity.”
— Michelle DaBoll
“We used Olson funeral home for our mother’s cremation. She didn’t want a service, or even an obituary. We met with the funeral director and he was very rude. Acted as though it was our fault our mother hadn’t pre-planned her funeral, or that she didn’t have life insurance. No compassion for 3 people who had just lost their mother. Any question we asked was rudely answered. Will never use Olson again.”
— Jennifer Brownlea
“I expected my son’s remains to be shipped out Tuesday per the conversation my husband had with the funeral home director. When my son’s dad let me know he hadn’t received the urn yet today I emailed for a tracking number. See the exchange below. Once you get past the rudeness of the mansplain and the not- an -apology, understand the grieving mother had to do this funeral director’s actual job that he was paid a premium for. If you ever consider using Olson funeral home, don’t.”
