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.

“AJ was very helpful throughout the entire process. We had no issues, and I want to thank him and the team for being efficient and ensuring a smooth transaction. The team was also very responsive and guided us from beginning to end.”

“My father passed away suddenly and we were out of state. I never had to put together funeral arrangements before, so I was going in blind. My Rockville family recommended a different funeral home, but when I called, I didn’t get a good feeling. A close family friend recommended Cole Funeral Services, so I called them and got a much better vibe. Not only was AJ friendly, but he demonstrated a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field. That was especially critical because we had to transport my deceased father out of state. AJ held my hand through the entire process. He brought such stability to a very somber and chaotic situation. That in itself is such a blessing. Not to mention, we felt that the pricing was very reasonable. We also appreciated we never felt pressure to add extra expenses. I would definitely recommend AJ & Cole Funeral Services! We plan to be repeat customers for sure 🤗”
