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.

“We would like to thank Chris and everyone at Dokken-Nelson for the kindness and thoughtfulness shown to our family during this difficult time.

— Lorinda Edwards
“Eventually we will all need the services as provided by Dokken-Nelson. I cannot speak more highly of their entire team. Initially I brought my daddy's ashes from another state and they facilitated having Parting Stones made. And upon my mother's death most recently, they provided great comfort and care to me. The help provided through live streaming also gave my mom's friends and families in WV the opportunity to watch and collectively grieve with us. Bailey has been a real gem to work with directly.”
— Lisa Small
“Our family had the pleasure of working with Bailey while we prepared for the death of our mother/grandmother/wife, through the funeral, and the burial. She was compassionate, prompt, detail oriented, efficient, prepared, and professional. We could not have been more pleased! We would highly recommend Dokken-Nelson Funeral Service.”
