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.

“I recently attended a Lunch & Learn at Schumacher-Kish Funeral and Cremation Services and had a great experience. Jake did an excellent job presenting and was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. The presentation was clear, informative, and engaging. I also had the chance to meet Scott and several other staff members, and everyone was welcoming, professional, and very knowledgeable. It was clear that they take pride in what they do and genuinely care about the people they serve. The facilities are clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which added to the overall positive experience. Schumacher-Kish comes across as a well-run funeral home with a great team, and I would absolutely recommend them.”

“Schumacher-Kish exceeded my expectations. They transformed the hard, painful process of handling the seemingly endless details after my beloved aunt’s passing. I worked with Alex Kish specifically and he was so helpful and devoted to making the process be smooth for me and my family. I felt not only in expert hands in all the practical matters but also genuinely cared about. Thank you Schumacher-Kish!”
