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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“I wanted to share my experience.Tom was absolutely amazing helping me through the process. I live in Florida and had to make arrangements with Tom via telephone. He was very knoweldegable and patient he guided me through the process and helped me and for that I am greatful. I had my loved one cremated and Tom had to Send him to me Via Mail. The way my loved one arrived showed me I chose the right place the time he took to prepare everything truley showed. I asked Tom if he could seperate ashes for each Family member and the attention to detail was spot on. I could not have asked for anymore. So Thank you Tom Forever Greatful.”

“I would have given them “zero” stars if I could. Tom, the director, was absolutely the worst to work with. He is extremely disrespectful and doesn’t have the slightest of clues on how to properly manage and deal with people. I’m surprised he is still in business and operating. My recommendation is to run as far from Tom and the Curley Marchand Funeral Home as possible. Save yourself the additional pain and heartache by going with anybody else. So disappointed that we had to deal with Tom’s foolishness while still trying to morn and say goodbye to a loved one.”

“I was very disappointed in what happened in regards to my fathers funeral. The funeral director was very morbid about everything. My father was a organ donor and the funeral director went into detail about what was done with my father and how he was "too big" (my father was a heavy set man) for what they normally do after organ donation, we asked him to stop talking about the process and he continued anyway. Then with covid going we only had a burial and within minutes of the preist finishing he was rushing me and my family to leave so they could clean up.”
