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 want to thank Bailey's Funeral Home. After reading the ME's report, I can't begin to tell you the hesitation I felt to say goodbye to my "Big Girl". When I say they did an excellent job, believe me, they did an outstanding job. Her hair, brows, and make-up were immaculate. They even took the time to give her a full set of nails -- in her favorite color, PINK. And everyone who knew Kianna knows she would have loved that. She looked like the beautiful woman we all knew she was, and as a father, this was the first time I could actually see my baby as a grown woman.”
— Anthony R Underwood
“Bailey's Funeral Home is the best establishment I've ever dealt with during my 52 years of living. The services they provided for my dad's homegoing celebration was compassionate, professional and beyond outstanding. Even though my siblings and I live 2 hours away, they went above and beyond to lead the preparations and guide us every step of the way. My dad was beautifully celebrated during his funeral service and respectfully honored during his burial as a US Veteran. Please make sure you use Bailey's Funeral Home. This family has been doing this business for a long time, and they do it right. Make sure you ask to work with Mahaila. She is phenomenal!”

“Everything was amazing! They did a wonderful job with my niece. The service was beautiful, the prices were amazing, and the work ethic was excellent. The pastor and musician were wonderful as well — truly a blessing. Mr. Bailey has been working with my family for years, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I highly recommend them to everyone. Excellent work to Mr. Bailey and his staff!”
