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

“When I was very young ,Dad would bring us here Sunday afternoon and I would look around at the windows in amazement as the sun shone through. It was beautiful color. I can't put in words how I felt while there. I wanted to stay awhile even after mass was over. When I get back to Youngstown, I will definitely visit this beautiful cathedral. Glad to know it's still there. God bless everyone there. I miss alot about Youngstown.”

“Beautiful church, well worth the stop if you’re just passing through. The way the sun shone through the stained glass was like the sun streaming through the trees in the forest that is the cathedral. The mosaic behind the altar is really stunning as well. It’s massively tall, so you can stand there and marvel at its beauty and wonder how long it took for them to put it all together. I loved the plants in the narthex as well, the olive tree was a very nice touch. Unique, too, as I’ve never seen it in any parish I’ve been to. Cheers.”

“Beautiful music and special compliments on the fantastic organ playing! I've come to a few of the concerts at the Cathedral and they have been wonderful! Congratulations to the new music director, Ralph, and his continued hard work.”
