“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.

“Miles was very professional and kind in helping our family navigate a tragic and difficult time. He was thoughtful about his suggestions, timely with all responses, and did an amazing job leading our sons celebration life service. He took a ton of stress and pressure off of us during such a difficult time. We would absolutely recommend him.”

“My mother had written a note to use Johnson Funeral home. When we called at her passing they arrived promptly on time. They were very respectful in how they allowed those present to say their last respects. The transport out of her house was done discreetly and with grace. The planning process went incredibly smoothly. Even to transporting my mother to Tillamook from Salem for her final internment. I was very touched when the staff called right before the funeral to verify how they wanted my Mom dressed and how her hair was done. The entire staff was more than professional, they were truly caring. They very much displayed a Catholic reverence for the faithful departed. The entire process went smoothly, which did much to comfort me and my family. Highly recommended.”
