“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

“The Bell Funeral home has delivered outstandingly professional and compassionate care for my love ones for 4 generations of my family. The Grandmother, parents, sibling and most recently son. The Bell Family especially have always done the job of giving that extra special touch and care before, during and after the services. I have never been disappointed. Mrs. Bell adds a special bonus with her comforting words and follow up post services is a touch that assisted me and my family through our grief journey. They are a legacy of the Wilmington community.”

Somebody was not doing what was suppose to be done there’s a time and place for foolery but when it’s involving somebody life your suppose to make sure your on point and you guys failed to do so. No words can fix the amount of hurt you have caused.”
