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.

“I would like to thank the staff at Romano Funeral Home for the excellent attention they showed our family during my father's arrangements and services. We had the pleasure of meeting with Carmelo, he was amazing and exceeded our expectations. The staff including his dedicated spouse, transformed their multi-function room into a lovely reception area with a selection of beautiful and delicious comfort food and drinks. The entire staff made us feel comfortable and assured us that everything would go as planned, and it certainly did. If services are in need, I would highly recommend the Romano Funeral Home/Dignity Memorial as they are very professional, compassionate, friendly and accommodating during the most difficult times of our lives. Thank you, I'm beyond grateful! Anania, Ingrid and Lisa; Solano Family”
