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.

“The lady, Mika, at Highland was very nice and very accommodating. We wanted Highland because my parents are there. We are so glad everything is picked out and paid for. That is one less thing for our kids to have to do when we pass. The niches were beautiful and my husband is already picking out things he wants in his. We are so happy with our decision.”

“My husband and I just purchased a double niche for our urns. The associate who helped us was very nice and knowledgeable and the process was quick and easy. What impressed us is that they have glass niches where you can see the urn and you can decorate your niche with momentos or anything you like. The mausoleum is beautiful and the grounds are very nice”
