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.

“From the very first moment we sat down to make arrangements for my dad, we were met with warmth, compassion, and professionalism from every member of the Walters family. Their genuine kindness and attention to detail carried us through one of the most difficult times in our lives. Every step was thoughtfully handled, allowing us to focus on honoring our father without worry. The funeral home itself was immaculate and filled with a peaceful beauty that embraced everyone who walked through its doors. It radiated love, comfort, and a sense of reverence that made us feel truly supported. We are deeply grateful to have entrusted our father’s farewell to such a remarkable place. The Walter’s family will forever hold a special place in our hearts for the grace and care they extended to us.”

“We have used Walters twice and the service was exceptional! The entire family will go the extra mile to see that your needs are met. Gene was invaluable to us when making burial arrangements for our Mom. Ross & Cecile with their calm guidance are appreciated when the family is exhausted from a family member's prolonged illness and passing. I have never hesitated to recommend their facility to others. The beautiful facility & spacious, safe parking ( a rarity for Lafayette & surrounding areas) is appreciated by family & friends.”

“Walters Funeral Home handled two funerals for me within two years. Each time they were amazing. They made a horrific time special and you exactly what was needed in each situation. They were extremely knowledgeable, very understanding, most patient, and caring. They made an unpleasant experience, easy. The funeral home facility was impeccable & comfortable for all. The funeral that was held at the church was coordinated & timely. They knew exactly what needed to be done in each circumstance.? I particularly liked the attention to detail and the special photos created for viewing and for keepsake. I would not hesitate to recommend Walters Funeral Home to anyone. I would definitely use them again, but hopefully not soon. 😬”
