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.

“Mary at Monte Vista was such a blessing to our family during such a difficult time. She helped us write a perfect obituary showing exactly who my brother was. Being a mom herself, she was able to share her mama heart with my Mama when she needed it most. She was there for us during and after our time of need. I would recommend Monte Vista and Mary 1000%. Thank you for taking care of my brother as if he was YOUR loved one.”
— Carol Leonard
