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.

Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts my family and myself truly appreciate it dearly. I will ALWAYS recommend this place to family & friends 🙏🙏”

“Angels Cremation Service was recommended by a friend who recently lost her mother, so I decided to use them when my mom passed away in September. I cannot say enough good things about them! Brenda was kind, sincere, and compassionate. She answered all my questions with patience and empathy. My mom's cremains and the death certificates were ready much sooner than anticipated. The facility is beautiful--very clean, fresh, and gives the impression that the proprietors feel a great sense of respect and dignity toward the families who trust them to care for their loved ones. I would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone in need of their services. Thank you so much!”

Whenever I called or emailed, I got a response very quickly. Their prices are very reasonable and they do not try to upsell. They also do their work in a very timely manner. I appreciate them for making this difficult time much easier.”
