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 was very disappointed with the service I received. The director, Howard, was very dishonest. He still owes me $200.00 and avoids my calls and voicemails. Each time I try to go by to get my money, no one is ever there. I will never recommend the New JMW funeral home to anyone.”
— Pat Hill
“I give 5 stars my mom just passed away Saturday and she had a hard death in the hospital with a lot of swelling and Mr. Howard did a good job to make sure she looked as much like herself as possible he is by far the most reasonably priced funeral home in the Birmingham area.”

“I would not suggest using. I attended a funeral of a loved one this past weekend and not only did they rush the family through the service, which was said to be because of a new law with times to be in the graveyard, the directors were sitting in the lobby talking the entire time we were trying to listen to the pastor.”
