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.

Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights

“I knew my mom was in great hands. My husband originally took over for me with the phone call. My husband had told me the funeral home was super informative and professional. When I finally took over, Brian was super helpful in answering any questions I had. He was super helpful in helping me with paperwork. Brian made the process easier for me after losing so much sleep. I finally met Brian in person, a few days ago. He was great. I'm thankful to know my mom was in very good hands. This I can guarantee and I hope others have this very difficult process made easier by this funeral home. Thank you guys. I really appreciate it ❤️🕊🌹”

“These folks are absolutely wonderful! I had been trying to pre-arrange services for my dad who was on hospice. The prices I got from conventional funeral homes seemed reasonable until I spoke directly with Cremation Society of East Tennessee. Their prices were so much lower! Like half! My father passed away here at the house during the worst winter storm of the season. The people on the phone were kind and responsive and supportive as we all had to deal with delays caused by the weather. The guy that came to pick up was professional and efficient. TOTALLY telling all my people about Cremation Society of East Tennessee.”

“My second experience with them was every bit as excellent as my first. The prices are excellent, they do offer some options I had not thought of (lock of hair) and all the base packaging is strong and sturdy. The folks are amazing and gentle and they are diligent in getting the paperwork done correctly.”
