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’ve had the pleasure of calling the Glicks family friends for a long time, but only recently had the unfortunate need to use them for business. Though it was a sad, difficult time, I was continually impressed with the professionalism and delicacy with which they carried out my Dad’s arrangements. From the planning before he passed, to picking up the floral arrangements after the service, we were so pleased with our decision to use Barkes, Weaver & Glick for our Dad. As a writer, I also very much appreciate how they help with the obituary - the last public tribute to most. When you read through obituaries, you can tell which are from Barkes, Weaver & Glick, and which are not. Thank you for your commitment to excellence and care.”
