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.

“All the reviews saying that Nikki is rude are so true. She is very confrontational and has zero compassion. She won't even take a message for the manager to rectify their mistake.”
— William M.
“They were very helpful until we were given my Father in Law's Urn. When I called in Oct to make a correction to the plaque on the Urn, Nikki seemed helpful at first, like it was no problem. After a problem with their supplier, Nikki became rude about the corrections. Then ghosted me, and hasn't returned any of my emails or phone calls. I finally just sent her a cancellation email. I will not return here in the future if I lose a loved one.”
