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 couldn’t recommend Piney Woods Mortuary & Cremation Services more! I called them for a removal, embalming, and delivery for my funeral home a few days ago and to my delight, an answer after the first ring AND the person answering the phone was a licensed funeral director and embalmer (no answering service)!!! They were swift and professional, the embalming work was exquisite, and they delivered the deceased the next morning to my funeral home! I will definitely be using them again and would recommend them time and time again.”
