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 husband died suddenly and unexpectedly and I was in no way prepared for this event or for all of the decisions and arrangements that follow. It was a real blessing that I found Clarity and Taryn. My sister was helping with arrangements as I struggled to process what was going on. Taryn made everything clear, easy, and understandable. She was available, communicative, adaptable, and compassionate. You have no idea what will come up after a loved one dies and what is important can change and evolve very quickly. I was juggling a lot of friend, family, and personal expectations and it wasn't easy to make decisions, but Taryn and Clarity were kind, honest, and went above and beyond what I would have expected. Finding what is affordable under the circumstances can be painful and difficult, but Clarity made these decisions much easier. I love that they provide carbon offsetting for cremation services. That is what led me to contact them in the first place. It was a blessing that I found them and I am grateful for their clear and compassionate approach.”

“Taryn was very helpful, I would 💯 recommend using Clarity Funerals and Cremations. My Family contacted them in an emergency and it was all handled with respect and dignity. They have office in Santa Ana Orange County as well. Taking care of my situation was the same so glad to have a place that when the unknown happens they know what to do.”

“Sadly my mother passed away unexpectedly late last year. A friend referred me to Clarity Funerals & Cremation. I'm so glad they did. I reached out to several other providers and none of them could meet all of my requests, but Clarity Funerals & Cremation absolutely did. They were straight forward in their communications and were always quick with a clear and complete answer to any questions that I had (and I had many questions through out the entire process). I was prepared for cost overages as I thought this entire industry was based on upselling and hidden charges. The price I was quoted however was EXACTLY the price I paid, and not a penny more. That was a very pleasant surprise. There was never any upselling either. I did elect to buy a more elaborate urn but I actually had to ask to see the other more expensive options. (Truth be told, it wasn't even expensive, I was rather shocked at how affordable it was especially after looking elsewhere prior to deciding to go with Clarity). I hope that I never again have to be the sole the person arranging another funeral for a loved one, but if I am, I definitely going straight to Clarity and I can recommend them 100% without any reservations.”
