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.

“Losing my husband was such a confusing time. I was lost and Alex Adams was so helpful. She walked me through the whole process and answered all of my questions. Everyone was so nice and respectful. I was so tickled that our dog was allowed to come to the celebration of life for my sweet Bob. She was his constant companion and definitely a part of our family. I was so relieved that I got help with the life insurance to pay for the celebration. It was one less thing I had to deal with. One of the reasons I chose Erlewein's was an experience I had over 20 years ago. A friend of my son tragically died in a motorcycle accident. There were hundreds of people paying their respect. The mortuary stayed open late into the night making sure everyone was able to pay their respects. The line was all the way outside and it started to rain. They brought out umbrellas for visitors to use. Thank you to this wonderful facility for their kindness and compassion.”

They took one of the most challenging things I’ve been through, and made it go as smoothly as possible without any worries. Thank you so much for all you do Alex and team.”
