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.

“Planning a funeral is something I’ve never had to do and don’t realize how hard it would be. Damon and everyone else at Pipkin Braswell made the process much easier during a very difficult time. Their timelines, attention to detail, care and concern, and the abundance of information they provided us with made things go as smooth as possible. They catered to our needs from start to finish and the funeral service itself was flawless and I couldn’t have been more proud of the way they represented my dad as we celebrated his life. I highly recommend Pipkin Braswell.”

“Mark Pipkin and his team provided me and my family remarkable service. Their guidance was instrumental in my mother's unforgettable home going ceremony. From the pre planning phase through the burial and repast, Mark and his staff were top notch professionals and very caring souls. I particularly want to thank Karl for his kindness, flexibility, and consistent communication throughout each stage of the ceremonies. I highly recommend Pipkin Braswell! Don Reynolds”

“In one of the hardest seasons a family can walk through, Pipkins Braswell showed up with dignity and care. They have helped our family and friends before, and the staff is always resourceful, understanding, respectful, supportive, and professional. Damon Morgan deserves special recognition. He stayed with us through each step, explained what was coming next, and helped us make decisions with clarity instead of overwhelm. He also ensured we understood options that could work for different financial circumstances—never rushed, never pressured, just steady support. Mr. Pipkins, Sherri, and Tara were all personable and kind. I would recommend Pipkins Braswell to anyone who needs their loved one honored well.”
