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 was my mother's choice for my beautiful sisters "Homegoing" needs. I was shocked when told that I needed to bring makeup for my sister! Another funeral director told me that preparation service required special makeup for the deceased, so they provided it! Please be sure to get the right information, obituary announcements in newspapers right etc. Remember, this is a business, unfortunately, they're very busy, so pay attention to details & wishes!!! Assume nothing!”

“A very poor embalming job was performed on my sister. She looked nothing like herself. My entire family was disple ased. We will never use this service again. The wife is the only one that has a nice personality. We had to provide men from our Family to get in in and out of the church and at the burial. My sister needed a wider casket, but if you didn't have the staff to perform the duties why are you in business. They were not my choice but my sister had stated to her husband she wanted to go there. Never again will my family use them.”

“Customer service was ok but we were very rushed during our service… i suggest people get life insurance immediately i know it’s not something that people want to think about but trust me it’s well worth it for your family… If u have a loved one that has passed with no insurance please make sure u shop around, my family wasn’t in the right frame of mind and i swear i wish we were because you can definitely find a better and cheaper funeral service! They are very unprofessional and inconsiderate of the families that they bury!”
