“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.

“From the first conversation we had with Cassie from Glencoe-Hokes Bluff Funeral Home, I knew we made the right choice. It was obvious that she cared and wanted to help our family in every way possible and she did. She went above and beyond throughout the process and was available whenever we needed anything. Cassie was able to guide us thru this difficult time with love and support and I won't forget it. Thank you so very much.”

“We were treated so kind. They asked us how they could help us and did everything we wanted. They never tried to pressure us into anything more than what we wanted. They were there when we needed them and took their time and was very patient with us. I will use them again if I ever find that I need their services again.”
