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 can’t say enough about Driscoll Funeral Home. It’s a stunning home that is immaculately kept. Pat and his team took great care to help me plan a lovely tribute to mother and went above and beyond to accommodate my family. The team paid attention to even the smallest details so that my mother looked simply beautiful. It’s so important to choose the right place when you are in an emotional, vulnerable state of grief. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to help me during this difficult time.”

“I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Patrick Driscoll and his dedicated staff for their invaluable support and exceptional service. Pat's kindness, patience, and guidance were instrumental at every stage of the process. The professionalism and pleasant demeanor exhibited by his team were notable, and they consistently made themselves readily available. Patrick and his team went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, making this difficult experience seamless. Having visited several funeral homes in the area, it became evident that Driscoll Funeral stood out and that their prices were remarkably competitive. With the support of Patrick Driscoll and his team we were able to give our mother (Miriam E. Horton) a beautiful and well deserved farewell and for that we thank them!”

“Pat and Phil were both professional and friendly throughout this whole process. They made such a difficult and emotional time an easy experience. They were caring and quick to respond to any questions we had. They did a beautiful job with all the services for my Mom, Carol Bellemore. I can’t recommend them enough. They were also nice enough to donate a memorial tree in honor of my Mom. Thank you Pat and Phil for everything. It was greatly appreciated.”
