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.

“Very professional and great communication to males, unfortunately when it came to my sister in law and I. Felt very disrespected and unfortunately made us feel like we didnt know what our mothers wishes are. I don't need someone who never spoke to my mother, tell me how she wanted things and make me feel slow. Your suppose to support the families during grief. As a nurse, very disappointed on how he communicate with males vs females. I understand hes older, but still respect the families you serve and just be helping hand vs talking down to people!”
