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.

“We had a wonderful experience with Greg and the Brownlie-Maxwell team. They knew exactly how to handle veteran affairs so that my dad could be buried at the Cape Canaveral National Cemetery. The whole process was straightforward and Greg and his team took care of everything from transportation and embalmment, to talking with the cemetery, getting his discharge papers, and making beautiful programs for the service. We had a lovely service at my dad’s local church and a burial with military honors. We would definitely recommend this team.”
