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.

“Review update : im glad Mr close actually called me to apologize on behalf of a verbal discussion, ima creature of habit when something upsets me and I seriously have bad inflammatory problems so being angry and upset is not what I want I notice my physical reactions I dont like sitting on my feelings unadressed so I will approach the person directly. Since Mr close has apologized i will accept it and move on they do and I appreciate their vintage like atmosphere when I visited the building I did appreciate the handling and caring of my mom of course most definitely so i do recommend them aside from other funeral homes I checked out....I do want to thank them at least on that but on that note apology accepted.”
