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.

“Our family has called the Lakeview/ Lincoln Park community “home” for over 60 years. A year ago in October, 2024, Lakeview Funeral Home helped with the burial of my husband, Ruben Torres at Graceland Cemetery. Their compassionate service was felt from beginning to end.”
— Mary Torres
“We had a wonderful experience working with the caring professionals at Lakeview Funeral Home after our father passed away. From the initial meeting to discuss arrangements and practical details to the memorial service we held for dad months later (as our family decided we needed some time before saying goodbye), everyone we encountered was wonderful and patient. Andrea (who was always responsive and understanding) and Skyler (who took the time to make a playlist for the event so we had one less thing to worry about) really made a difficult time less stressful for our family. Also, the chapel at the funeral home is very nice and unique. Several of our family commented on how comfortable the setting was. All in all, I would highly recommend Lakeview Funeral Home.”
— Brett Gallagher
“Great costumer service by every staff member. Andrea was available to answer all my questions. She was incredibly helpful and kind when dealing with my loved one's cremated remains. I cannot recommend them enough.”
