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.

“At one of the lowest points of my life, after losing my mom, Ronald Jones Funeral Home and Director Vanessa truly made a difference. Vanessa took exceptional care of my mother and made the entire process as easy and stress-free as possible during an incredibly difficult time. My mom looked absolutely beautiful. Every detail was handled with excellence—from the flowers to the ushers. Everything was professional, organized, and seamless. Although this is the work they do every day, Vanessa made it feel deeply personal, as if that day was entirely about honoring my mom—and it was. During a time of profound sadness and life-changing circumstances, Vanessa was always available, incredibly organized, and shared my desire for everything to be perfect. All things considered, everything was beautiful and exactly as it should have been. I am truly grateful for the care, compassion, and dedication shown to my family.”

“Our experience with Ronald L. Jones Funeral Chapels was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment my mother passed, their team responded quickly and handled everything with compassion and professionalism. Vanessa ensured every detail—from the obituary to the final arrangements—was handled accurately and on time. My mom passed on Wednesday and was laid to rest Monday, and the entire process was seamless. They were patient with our family, respectful of our wishes, and completely transparent, even inventorying and returning her jewelry properly. They made my mother look beautiful and peaceful. The facility was immaculate, and their professionalism extended to every detail, including transportation and personal courtesies. During such a painful time, they made everything easier. I highly recommend them.”
