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.

“Capt Ken called to confirm our booking within hours of submitting online. Devin was spectacular with correspondence along the way leading up to the charter. Devin sent all the info we needed so we knew exactly what to expect and everything went smoothly. The veteran honors ceremony was beautiful. Capt Wes was friendly, respectful & accomodating. He even had a bluetooth speaker so we could play a prepared memorial playlist. It was a beautiful memorial moment for my father. Highly recommend Hawaii Ash Scattering!!!”

“I scheduled an impromptu ash scattering for my wife's grandmother. I came across this company online and man, did we "luck-up"! Our charter was scheduled with Captain Mikey. He was great and super personable!! My wife gets sea-sick easily and we were a little concerned but he gave us a smooth ride and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, considering the circumstances. I highly recommend this company and request Captain Mikey!!!”
— Todd Thornton
“Just finished scattering my father‘s ashes with Captain Mikey, who made the experience incredible. The company was very accommodating and switched dates for us due to inclement weather yesterday and we couldn’t have had a more beautiful day today with such a special experience”
