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.

“They have a good business; however, communication could be much better. I almost thought I had been scammed because the services are charged upfront, since they only do pickups and drop-offs. I was told the pickup would take place between 2 PM and 9 PM. I called many times because nobody contacted me to let me know they were on the way, and I was starting to get nervous—especially since my pet had died the day before at the hospital, and I chose to take him home so my other pets could say goodbye, but nobody answered the phone. They picked him up around 8:30PM. Ultimately, I was told the process would take between 5–8 days. I waited 5 days for someone to call and let me know exactly when the delivery would take place, but again, nobody called. I called many times and tried different numbers, yet no one ever answered the phone. They have a great business, but they can 100% make the experience less stressful for owners with better communication, especially when someone is going through such a difficult emotional situation.”

“Jo helped us through the toughest time of losing our beloved Bruce. Our dog had been a huge part of our family for the past 14 years. We lost him on a Tuesday around 5:19 pm and they picked up our call right away, answering all of our questions. We made arrangements for same day pickup, and the driver picked him up around 10:14 pm. The staffs are all compassionate and they offered us as much comfort as they possibly could. The rates are reasonable and I got Bruce’s ashes in a beautiful wooden box by Thursday, same week. I can't think of anything that Pet cremation United could've done better. They are the best choice in NY/ Westchester area if you need cremation for your pet. If can give them more than 5 stars I would.”

“Losing a pet is one of the hardest experiences anyone can go through. Recently, when we had to say goodbye to our beloved pet, Pet Cremation United made the process more manageable. Their team was compassionate, respectful, and took care of every detail with genuine care. They provided a peaceful and dignified farewell, and it truly helped us cope during a painful time. Their attention to detail and the warmth they showed will forever be appreciated. I highly recommend them to anyone going through the heartbreaking experience of losing a pet.”
