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.

“I can not say enough great things about Thompson’s. They have treated us like we were family and our son. Losing our child was the most horrible thing that we have ever experienced. We had no idea what to do or say. Fran was our life line If we ever needed anything she was there. She had the answers or knew where to find them them All our friends saw what we were going through and they all have commented on how great Thompson Funeral Home had been to us I hope Not to see you any time soon but we will be back”
