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.

“Having a parent pass away is such a hard time for families but they made the process so much easier. The pamphlets turned out great. I would highly recommend this option. They were wonderful the day of the ceremony. They took care of everything so we could visit with all our family and friends. The follow up after has been top notch ! They have text me to check in and see how we are doing and if they can help in any way. They even text me on my dad’s birthday knowing this would be a hard day as the first one. Thank you . I appreciate all you have done for our family.:))”

“Scott was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend him and the Cremation Society of Minnesota. He was very supportive and professional. His calm and low pressure guidance made our family feel like we picked the right company to help us with our arrangements for our family member. Even after the decisions were made, the team continued to follow up with supportive resources and that made all the difference for us.”
