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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Mark Wiggins and his staff went above and beyond in attending to my families needs when my mother passed away 8 days ago. He did not oversell or pressure us into siding with him; he calmly and respectfully answered all our questions and even recommended questions to be answered if we decided to go to another funeral home. Luckily the other room was available so they were able to accommodate the 300-400 people who attended my mom's wake and funeral. One big difference is how the natural light hits the room on a Saturday morning where as other places do not even have windows. We were so happy to go with Armitage and Wiggins. Everything was perfect and the peace of mind was the most important factor. Again, God bless and high praise to Mark and his whole entire staff.”
