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 can’t say enough good things about Going Home Cremations. Losing a loved one is never easy, but they made the process feel less overwhelming. From the first phone call, they were kind, patient, and incredibly respectful. They didn’t rush us or push anything—just listened and helped guide us through everything. What really stood out was how personal and compassionate they were. It didn’t feel like a business transaction—it felt like they genuinely cared. They explained all the options clearly, helped us make decisions that felt right for our family, and handled everything with professionalism and warmth. The pricing was fair and transparent, and there were no surprises. We felt supported every step of the way, and that made a huge difference. If you're looking for a cremation service that treats you with dignity and compassion, I highly recommend Going Home Cremations. They helped us honor our loved one in a way that felt peaceful and respectful.”
