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.

“It's never "fortunate" to need a funeral home, so when you find yourself in need, you'll want to work with one that is compassionate, understanding, and not going to take advantage of your emotional state. I can confidently say that we had a fantastic experience with Buggs Funeral Home. They were genuinely caring about our family's experience and understood very well what we had recently been walking through. Ms. Brucia was a blessing to us, as was Justin and everyone we spoke to. You'll be in good hands if you give them a call and trust them to walk you through the difficult season you're in.”
