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.

“To lose a dear friend, and be so far away from her celebration for a life well-lived is difficult. Having the ceremony broadcast put me in the room, and allowed me to hear from family, friends and associates how right I was from the first day I met the fabulous Mayor/Governor Hung Wei that she was special. My condolences to her family and all who knew her as friends.”
— Tom Boylan
