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.

“What I can say about Richie and Trinity Cremation services, they were very compassionate, helpful and understanding of what my sister was requesting for her only child’s passing. His customer service was above and beyond, he communicated very well via text and called with updates which most places most likely wouldn’t do, they would just resort to emails. He was like an angel being able to be there for us when we really needed a quick service. The only place who took our request on a Sunday morning when most places would send us to voicemail or emails. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs communication and someone who would place themselves as part of the family. Thank you for all that you have done 🙏”
