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 would highly recommend Advantage Funeral and Cremation Services to anyone looking for after life care. I chose them because I knew one of their employees from another death in 2021. So I messaged her and she had moved here. Abi was and is the best. She has always gone above and beyond for my family and taking the worry and stress off my shoulders during this difficult time of losing my father. She handled my son’s death in 2021 and she is the sweetest, kindest and most caring individual in the business. So if you need any services or just want to start planning please get ahold of Abigail Sitzman. She will go above and beyond for your loved one and for your whole family.”
