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.

— Nancy Hopkins
“My mother passed suddenly in May and had specified that we contact BCH for her final arrangements. From the moment I made the first shaky phone call, the staff was amazing, taking care of things in the most professional, kind and caring manner, fielding my many questions, facilitating everything that needed to be handled, and treating us, and my mother, with the utmost respect. I cannot recommend J'Anna and Stephanie enough; they exemplify professionalism and kindness. In a terrible situation, they were an anchor, and I cannot thank them enough.”
