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.

“During one of the most difficult times of my life was made a little less difficult due to the staff at Cheshire Family Funeral Home. The empathy, compassion and patience they showed was so thoughtful. From giving me the time needed to make difficult decisions. I wanted my husband's urn to be very personal, I thought I would need to look elsewhere however Chelsea was able to come up with a design that was spot on. Whenever I had a question she was extremely helpful as well as responsive with no waiting. If you want to honor your loved one this place and it's staff will achieve that and more. Thank you all for making a difficult time a bit less stressful.”
