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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 was one of the worst experiences our family has ever had. Michigan Funeral Home showed zero professionalism, zero compassion, and zero respect. Everything was rushed as if our deceased funeral was an inconvenience to them. The funeral employee named Yazan was completely unfit to work with grieving families. Instead of providing comfort and dignity, they added trauma and distress to an already devastating loss. I would never recommend this place to anyone. If I can put zero stars I will”

“The team at Michigan Memorial LLC assisted our family with every aspect of our father's funeral. While doing so they were caring and compassionate, as well as very diligent and professional. In a time of great sorrow and stress they made it as easy as possible for family and I to bury my father in a respectful and dignified manner. I am eternally grateful to Ribih Abedrabbo and his team for everything. God bless you all!”
— Lindim Tela
“Abdullah and his son (Yasir) are great people. They were prompt very early in the morning (5am) to start the funeral process for my dad who had passed away at 3:30am. They were very kind and understanding of the extreme rush of the process for my family. Working with an understanding team during the devastating loss of a family is so important. Michigan Memorial was so much more than what we expected. Thank you Abdullah & Yasir.”
