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.

“Both my parents died in 2022. Nancy Dusckas was the best ever to help my brother and I in every aspect of their funerals. She acted as though we were the only people who ever needed to arrange a funeral. She was professional, sincere and the best person ever. I would recommend Dusckas wholeheartedly.”
— Janet Bailey
“We had an awesome experience working with the Dusckas Funeral Home. We had never gone through a death in our immediate family before and Nancy and the other people who helped us were very kind and caring. They knew exactly what needed to be done and were very efficient. They also accommodated all of our personal requests and were so willing to help us out even when we thought we couldn't get our church at first for the funeral service. I would highly recommend this funeral home to anyone needing their services.”
— Michael Olson
“My experience with Dusckas was amazing! We were treated like we were the only family to ever suffer a loss instead of just another way to make money. They were knowledgable, personable, kind, and funny when they needed to be. I would whole heartedly recommend them to those needing a loving goodbye for their loved one.”
