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.

“This is the best and most caring and compassionate funeral home I have experienced. We recently buried our beloved uncle here this past Thursday and the staff were so kind, compassionate, welcoming, and warm to our family and friends. In my experience most funeral homes make you feel like you are burden by rushing the services and having no empathy towards your time of grief and loss just want your money. Leanne and her staff were excellent towards us and also affordable and convenient. I give this funeral 5 stars in my book because they were so caring, patient, and compassionate just what we needed and also my Uncle looked like he was sleeping they did an excellent on job on him and his home going service. Please give them a try if you are ever in need because they have wonderful services, great staff and affordable services.”
