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.

“When the time comes and you are faced with all the duties of a funeral home, you realize very quickly that Mr. West does this by calling. That simply means he is fulfilling God’s purpose in his life. In doing so, him and his staff helped my brothers and our family through the extremely difficult loss of my mom. I know we are all so thankful for the empathy and love everyone showed. The staff is amazing. Real genuine human beings still exist and treat you as such. I am glad my brothers chose you. I will not cast shade on other funeral homes, where death seems to be a business just for money. This is definitely NOT the case here. All wonderful people. I would 💯 recommend to anyone. God bless you all 🙏🏻❤️”
