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.

“This was my first experience having to bury someone. I called a few funeral homes and decided on Skyway mostly because Shawn & Greg were so helpful in honoring all of my mothers wishes and I am so grateful doing everything they could to stay within our budget. This has been the worst week of my life but Shawn & Greg made it a little bit better and I am very thankful. I understand now why so many of my family members have buried loved ones here.”
