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.

“As a funeral director from out of state, working with Shikany's has been an exemplary experience. I have used their services for my own father and when I need assistance in the Naples/Bonita Springs area, Bill Shikany is always my first call.”

“Bill Shikany took everything off our shoulders and by listening with patience and grace to five of us brought out our stories and wrote a beautiful tribute to my husband. Bill did everything possible to make his Memorial Service something that would have made him proud and was so beautiful for all of us. At a time so sad, he made everything easy for us.”
— Jeanne Vollmann
“Mr. Shikany was a big help for me losing my husband after a brief illness. He and his team were professional and available for any questions that I had. They were very compassionate and accommodating for all my needs. I am a geriatric nurse and would call Mr. Shikany when one of my residents would pass and he has shown dedication and kindness for my 22 years at the Assisted Living I was managing.”
