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.

“Fouché provided excellent service for my family during two of the most difficult times in our lives — the loss of my brother and my stepfather. Tammy Hardy was our counselor, and she offered truly exceptional care throughout the entire process. Her professionalism, compassion, and genuine empathy made a challenging experience much easier to navigate. I deeply appreciate the thoughtful support and quality service we received from Tammy and the entire Fouché team.”
— Key Richardson
“A very professional, compassionate, and empathetic establishment. Tammy was very kind to my sister and I at our appointment. Although I was on speaker phone since I was out of state I felt very much a part of the meeting. My sister and I felt Fouche’s is more than a business, but a place that truly understood what those who are grieving are going through.”
— Mary Braswell
“My family has appreciated Fouches for many years. Tammy Hardy is one of the most well respected counselors at this establishment. If ever your family is in need of good funeral service, give fouches a call. They can help.”
