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.

“During a very difficult time for our family, La Paloma Funeral Home provided exceptional service and care. Esperanza was truly a blessing, kind, compassionate, and incredibly helpful every step of the way. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and guided us through the entire process with patience and understanding. Esperanza speaks Spanish, which was especially helpful for our family, and she made sure all the paperwork was properly completed so we could send our loved one’s body to Mexico without any issues. We are deeply grateful for her support and professionalism. I highly recommend La Paloma Funeral Home to anyone in need of compassionate and respectful service. Thank you, Esperanza, for everything.
