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.

“I had a few moment before a VA appointment for my Husband and we decided to stretch our legs. Lovely walk”
— Amy Mathison-Start
“I was walking by this cemetery one day, and noticed something on the ground just inside the fence. It was a dead chicken! Not chicken parts, a whole dead chicken, head and all! I managed to find some workers, and brought one guy over, who didn't believe me when I told him what I saw. When I got him over there, he saw the chicken, (I won't repeat what he said), and he cleaned it up. I wondered if there was someone in the area doing Santeria rituals, or if someone was doing Santeria rituals, were they from somewhere else, and was just driving by and threw the chicken out. Otherwise, the cemetery is clean and a nice place to get some silence and solace.”
