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.

Very understanding, patient with me, communication he really was on top of everything. My baby really had the best home going service. I would recommend Lea's Funeral Home to anyone that wants good care for their love ones! True angels sent!!!”

“Unfortunately, professionalism was not demonstrated by this funeral home at any point during our experience. From the initial removal of the body to the premature posting of the obituary, there were multiple serious missteps. While in the home of the deceased, staff made insensitive and inappropriate comments. When these concerns were brought to the funeral director’s attention, they were dismissed with the explanation that this was simply their “office culture” and staff banter — an unacceptable response given the sensitivity of the situation. Most concerning, the funeral home posted the obituary on their website before ever meeting with the family for an initial arrangement conference. This lack of communication and respect added unnecessary distress during an already difficult time. Due to these issues, we ultimately transferred our loved one to another funeral home. I would strongly caution families to consider other options if they are seeking compassion, professionalism, and respectful care.”
