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.

“Mt. Hope Memorial Gardens provided exceptional care and service during one of the most difficult times for our family. From registration through the burial, the process was handled with professionalism, dignity, and respect. I would especially like to recognize Ms. Verdia Hayward. She was incredibly compassionate, patient, and thoughtful throughout our process. Ms. Hayward took the time to answer our questions, clearly explain each step, and ensure that every detail was handled smoothly. She truly provided a personal touch that helped our family get through this difficult time and served as a genuine voice of care and comfort when we needed it most. The staff and grounds at Mt. Hope Memorial Gardens reflect a peaceful and well-maintained environment, which meant a great deal to our family as we honored our loved one. We are truly grateful for the support and care we received and highly recommend Mt. Hope Memorial Gardens to families seeking professional and compassionate memorial services.”

“This place did an awesome job with assisting my family with laying my beloved grandmother to rest. Excellent customer service and care. Krista was a very big help in this time of grief. She made sure everything we needed she provided.”

“To Whom It May Concern, Please spare me any apologies—what’s happening here goes far beyond a simple oversight. My grandmother was buried at this cemetery in June. This is supposed to be a perpetual care cemetery, yet the reality is anything but. The graveside service was already traumatic due to mismanagement. We were promised the headstone would be properly raised and the surrounding plots maintained. Instead, what we’ve witnessed is blatant neglect and disrespect toward the deceased and their families. This is not just an emotional issue—it’s a legal one. You are in violation of perpetual care cemetery standards as defined by Michigan law. I intend to bring this to the attention of city and state representatives, and I will be filing a formal complaint with LARA. This situation is unacceptable, and I expect a thorough response and immediate corrective action. I will be sending you an email as well as a formal letter”
