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.

“I honestly can’t say enough good things about. They handled everything with such care and humanness all the business parts that usually feel so heavy, they made simple and gentle. Toni Ann, the director, was amazing. She let us have a say in everything and was open to any change we wanted, even down to the volume of the music. Mike, Joe, and Rosanne were just as incredible. They helped arrange flowers, kept checking in to see if my family needed water or anything at all, and made sure every little detail was perfect. They kept the prayer cards stocked, answered every single one of our endless questions, and did it all with so much patience and empathy. You’d think doing this every day might make someone numb, but every person there made us feel like we were the only family that mattered. We’ll never forget how they made such a heartbreaking time a little bit lighter. Thank you so so much”

“Marie was the most incredible funeral director we've worked with. She was extremely accommodating, responsive, respectful, and allowed us to have the most special and beautiful farewell to our loved one. What a lovely team!”
— Janet Nguyen
“I had such a great experience working with Farones while planning my father's homegoing. The staff were always professional and available in person or by phone (still have Marie's cell number saved in my phone). They were flexible (making last minute changes over and over). My father lay in that casket, not looking dead, but looking asleep. This was one of the hardest things to experience and I can honestly say I would recommend them to anyone.”
