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.

“Compassionate Pet Cremation truly lives up to their name. We took our dog, Sassy, there to be cremated about a week ago, and during one of the hardest moments our family has faced, they were absolutely amazing. Sassy wasn’t just a pet — she was a huge part of our family — and they treated her, and us, with so much kindness, dignity, and respect. From the moment we arrived, we felt supported and cared for. They were gentle, patient, and understanding of how emotional this was for us, and they never made us feel rushed. One especially meaningful touch was that they included a small baggie of Sassy’s fur. It may seem like a small gesture, but to us it meant so much and made the experience feel incredibly personal and thoughtful. Every step of the process was handled with compassion, which helped make an unbearably painful experience just a little easier. We are truly grateful for the care they gave Sassy and for how they treated our family during such a heartbreaking time. I highly recommend Compassionate Pet Cremation to anyone who wants to know their beloved pet is in gentle, caring hands.”

“I woke up on Christmas Eve to find that my bunny of 6 1/2 years sadly passed away. I called and was able to drop her off the same day. The gentleman that helped me was polite and professional. The price was super reasonable especially since I got to choose an urn. It was estimated her ashes would be ready in a week and two days later they were ready for pick up. Her ashes were in the correct urn and correct nameplate (I just wanted her name) and it came in a nice felt bag and included a cremation certificate. Overall a very pleasant experience.”
