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.

“They do Great work here. Lots of nicely cared for donated goods. Proceeds go to help the local communities.”
— Edward II
“This place is wonderful. The volunteers who are there are very sweet members of the church. My husband & I go on a regular basis to chat with them and also find unique items. It's great because the proceeds go back to the community. They have a Compassion House that helps families that may be in need. That's a great deed. If you're looking for items to furnish your home, office, etc or items to help someone that may be in need, donate items or to simply have great conversations with the volunteers, this is the place to go. Thank you Summer Grove! May God bless you all.”
— Elaina Layfield
