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 have ordered from Blais for almost two decades and they have always provided wonderful arrangements. Whether it’s pre-made or custom-made arrangements I’m having delivered, the recipients always tell me how beautiful the flowers are. I often call to place my order and receive exceptional customer service, even on days that must be crazy busy in the shop. They do lovely work - I highly recommend Blais.”
