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.

“My mom's funeral was just 13 hours ago. Steve, Zach, and the rest of the staff were so wonderful to work with. Every detail explained well, no pressure, and outstanding communication throughout the whole process. This is the 4th family member we have entrusted Steve with to give a dignified & beautiful farewell. Reasonably priced. We gave them photos/music to make a video to use during visitation with a good amount of lead time & the final product as well as the flowers exceeded our expectations. I would not hesitate in recommending this funeral home to others.”

“Carolina Funeral Service & Cremation has been and, will continue to be the “go to” for our family needs. Steve and his team are caring, compassionate and, professional. We could not have asked for better for the entire family at such a difficult time. They are able to provide the caring touch in ways big conglomerate places can’t - from the mints on the table to the loving preparation given to our family member, Steve and his team, are the best. Thank you for everything ❤️”
