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.

“My mom had passed suddenly, and had requested her remains be donated to the AGA. Having just lost my stepmom in August, and my dad going to Dalcamo for arrangements, I called them. I had an appointment a few hours later with Bernie. Bernie is very kind, engaging, and warm. He did all the paperwork, explained the whole process, and answered every question in detail. This was a comforting experience during a difficult time.”

“I have known the Dalcamo Funeral Home family for over 40 years, having grown up with all of their children. This year, my sister and I experienced an incredibly difficult loss with the sudden passing of our father, and we are beyond grateful that the Dalcamo family was there for us every step of the way. From the moment we called to inform them of our father’s passing, Philly, Bernie Jr., and Bernie welcomed us with open arms. Without their guidance, compassion, and support, my sister and I would have been completely lost. The amount of love and care they showed us during such a heartbreaking time was truly overwhelming. Their warmth made all the difference, and we felt so comforted knowing we were in such caring hands. The entire staff at Dalcamo Funeral Home was wonderful—professional, kind, and genuinely supportive. We are forever thankful for everything they did for our family.”
