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.

“Debord Snyder truly provided exemplary service during the recent passing of my dear friend. Their ability to manage the details of the obituary, the funeral service and the graveside burial were such a comfort. Truly, I felt as if I was not alone in this planning but that they were there to lend a hand as well as orchestrate events. Brian was available at any time for my questions. I've worked with larger funeral homes when my parents passed away and did not feel as personally cared for as I did by Debord Snyder.”
— Joyce
“It’s never easy having to say goodbye to a loved one, But finding a compassionate funeral home helps make the transition a lot more bearable. That is why we choose to go with DeBord from the very first phone call we were met with kindness and respect. My sister wasn’t a price tag but respected as a human. Jeremy took his time and walked us through every detail never making us feel rushed but valued and seen. ( You can’t teach compassion it’s a giving.) DeBord took great care of us all and especially my sister while in their care.. My family and I will forever be grateful and thankful for your service to us..”
— Bettina Pugh
“Debord Snyder handled the arrangements for our mother with the utmost compassion and dignity. Every aspect of the memorial and service for our mom was done with respect to her memory. Jeremy helped take my brother and me through every facet of planning and executing her service. The entire staff showed so much compassion, helping us get through a very tough, emotional time. They are highly recommended.”
