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.

“What can I say about Nelson & Sons Funeral home? From the time we began the process of making decisions about the final care of our mother, Brandon Nelson stepped in and guided us through the entire process. They are hands down, the BEST ever! We were having our mother shipped back to Georgia and Brandon made sure we knew everything we needed in order to make this passage as smooth as possible. He was readily available any time we called with questions or concerns. He treated us like family. There were four of us sisters making decisions and asking many questions and he never acted as if we were a burden or trouble. We honestly felt like we were a part of their family. Finally, when my mother passed, they made sure that EVERY detail was covered with the excellence and grace she deserved. They even allowed us a virtual "viewing" of my mom before they flew her to Georgia. My mother's final services were done in Georgia and if we could have paid for Nelson and Sons to see the details through in Georgia, we would have paid the cost. Nelson & Sons is the family you want caring for your family and loved one during a time of bereavement. They are so caring, gentle, and considerate.”

“I really had to leave a review for the awesome service we received from Nelson and Sons. From the time we called them Mr. Nelson was very friendly. Any questions we had he answered. Anything we needed if he couldn't do it,his son Brandon did it. They made our loss easier to deal with. In my opinion, they didn't treat us like customers but family members. I definitely would recommend them.”
— Chelonda Ray
“Nelson and Sons are a family full of both compassion and integrity. Both of the locations are clean and very welcoming! I can honestly say they take pride in the service they provide and their customer service is unmatched. They cater to each family individually and meet people where they are. I would highly recommend them!”
