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.

“Mrs Starr and Sharon were excellent hosts and very hospitable for the preparing of my daddy Larry James Collins home going celebration. They were more like family then a business, and treated us as such!! Every question and inquiry i had they were on it. I felt a load lift off me with their immaculate, caring, and loving spirits! At Hutchings Funeral Services, you are family and will be treated as such. Without their expertise and knowledge i would not have been able to get thru with this!! Mrs Starr walked me thru every single step of the process. You can tell she loves what she does. She will me there for you day or night literally. Thank you Mrs. Starr and Sharon!!!”
