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.

“Bob and Donna were both extremely helpful in planning and executing my father's service. The Home itself is beautiful and very spacious. I also have to say they both have went above and beyond after the service in helping me grieve and providing resources. They are a caring, professional, prompt and adept team. Bob also does an excellent job explaining all options and decisions. I would recommend them 10 time out of 10.”
