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.

“From beginning to end the Douglas and Johnson team are compassionate, helpful and listen to your requests in a tough time. Susan, Matt, Carrie and all the behind the scenes personal were always available to answer any questions we had and kept us up to date on how things would go. They heard our wishes for my dad's services and made it happen. We found such peace in that. Dad had it rough at the end but they made him look like himself and it was beautiful. The compassion the team has is amazing and helped us thru the start of our grieving process. Rev. Deb was amazing and truly highlighted who dad was in just the few conversations we had. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion towards us, your help in navigating the process and just letting us ramble as we needed. Peggy Solt (proud wife) Kellie Solt (proud daughter) Rick Solt (proud son) And our family.”

“Paul and the staff at Douglas and Johnson were wonderful to deal with from start to finish. Everyone was so kind, made everything easy for us and were so quick to respond with any request made. Paul went over and above on everything. This was a very hard time for my family and he made such a difference. The wake/service were perfect. My Dad would have been so pleased. Thank you to everyone at Douglas and Johnson.”

“Changing my 5 star to a 1 star is being generous. After hearing how my mother was ripped off by this funeral home which I now find out did NOTHING but take several thousands of dollars from her, Douglas and Johnson should be ashamed. An elderly woman retrieving ashes of her dead son from you after the work was all done out of state should not have to cost her several thousands of dollars. I find out that all she did was PICK THEM UP after they were sent to you, you do nothing but call her to let her know they arrived and hold them up until she PAID that kind of money???? You did no planning. You had no memorial. You handed her a box and stole thousands of dollars off her. This should be investigated criminally. You took advantage of an elderly woman's grief. What a disgrace.”
