Questions to Ask When You Call
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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 sincerely want to thank Caiola Stellato Funeral Home and their team for such professionalism and care in the unexpected passing of my mother. Vinnie Caiola was patient and helped us navigate through the whole process. I was comforted to see Vinny, a local Bayonne guy whom I went to grammar and high school with, taking care and preparing my mother for the viewing. My mom looked so beautiful and at rest, Exceptional work. In these hard moments in our lives, it’s comforting to know that there are people who are honest and genuinely care.”
