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.

“Losing pets is possibly one of the hardest things in the world to deal with. I have used their services a few times now and I'm thankful for them. Prices are very reasonable. The staff is very helpful, empathetic, sympathetic and professional. They treat our lost loved ones with dignity and respect. They make the process very simple as well. In my opinion, there's no other option to consider if you lose a pet.”
