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.

“Had my fathers funeral there almost 14 years ago. When my brother passed in October it was a no brainer. The communication and respect was fabulous.”
— Marsha Miller
“I Went to a close family members funeral today and the pastor that did the service was absolutely ridiculous. I couldn’t even grieve my lost loved one while he was speaking because of the pastor saying how were all going to die basically. His whole speech was revolved around death and how eventually were all going to die at some point and we don’t know when. My 28 year old cousin passed away and he never once said anything hopeful or to look on the bright side. But, instead said “wow 28, we’ve had a lot of 28 year olds here lately, it’s incredible”. Even went onto say a, I suppose joke about not knowing when we’re gonna die because one week he’s done a loved ones funeral and next week done someones funeral In the same room as last weeks. Then to top it all off we had two employees following us closely (within 5ft) to the last people in line that were saying their final goodbyes. They stood closely there the whole time watching and waiting for our family to finish grieving our gone way too soon family member. As his young daughter, mother, father, sister, cousins, aunts and uncles are breaking down they’re standing there in our space waiting to walk us out.”
— Caleb Stinson
“Out of respect for my lost family member, I won’t go into a lot of detail. But trust me, find elsewhere. This place is awful, we had SO many issues with them. They didn’t respect our wishes and rushed us into making decisions.”
