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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Nutmeg Society provided outstanding and thoughtful service. When my sister died one hour after midnight on New Year's Day, Nutmeg responded to our call with alacrity that night. All arrangements were made with efficiency and concern for the family grief. When the Town Clerk was dilatory in providing the Death Certificate, Nutmeg caused insurance the day we asked for their help. And the value for service is extraordinary.”

“Matt and Tom and their entire team were supportive and kind during a very sad time. They were compassionate and easy to work with from beginning to end. They were always helpful and available, which made a difficult process much easier. I highly recommend them.”
— Karen Kremer
