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.

“This is the most UNPROFESSIONAL Funeral Home that I have ever been to. You would think that you would be treated with sympathy and respect when you lose a loved one but oh no, not at Wrights Funeral Home in Franklin, Va. I am well aware that people get really tired sometimes but if you choose a profession that advertises services for 24 hours, what would you expect? My brother has been deceased since Thursday November 10th and is literally rotting while waiting for a death Certificate to be signed. With this being said and knowing that it would be days before the body would be cremated, why wasn't the family advised to embalm the body rather than saying "it would be a waste of money"? Treating a deceased body with NO DIGNITY is unforgiveable!! Our family, traveled for 3 hours to get there to view his body for the last time and when we arrive, we heard from the owner, it has been a long day, I am tired and don't want to be here. Well, do you think we wanted to be there and more importantly, do you think my brother wanted to be there either? And to top this off, his son gets there the next day to see his dad for the last time and was told no you probably don't want see him at this point!! Sir, the only nice thing I could say to you is "You chose the WRONG profession" with the attitude you have!! You don't even deserve 1 star for your rating!!”

“Grief is a harsh, heart rendering emotion. You either want to build up or tear down. Sometimes you want to strike out at anyone and everything. No one wants to have to deal with the final arrangements of a loved one. Some are fortunate that they have been made in advance, insuring that wishes and requests are granted. Almost my entire life Wright Funeral Home has been where my loved ones have been handled. I could not imagine going anywhere else. From Barky"s dad, to Barky, it's always been professional, courteous and kind. It takes a special kind of person to deal with others grief on what seems to almost a daily basis. The details that they attend to are difficult to deal with on any level. But what gentle and kind souls they are through it all. That is what my experiences have been. You are never really prepared to have to make these last decisions, and alot of people aren't aware of the whole of the chain of events that must happen before their loved one is taken in. Thank you all. Job well done, good and faitfhful servant.”
