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 worked with Amanda at Pacific Interment and she was wonderful. We are not local and working from a distance created its own unique set of challenges but so far the cremation process has been the easiest. Thank you for the respect and helpfulness in my families time of need. They were detailed, thorough and extremely respectful.”

“I am grateful to Pacific Interment for the exceptional services they provided for my father's funeral. They were extremely accommodating with scheduling, offering flexibility 7 days a week. Amanda, in particular, patiently explained everything to me as a first-timer. Amanda and her team went above and beyond, showing great compassion and respect for our religious practices. Their genuine care is rare to find in today's service industry. Amanda made me feel like I was reaching out to my own sister for help, and I never hesitated to reach out to her with any questions or concerns. Thank you, Amanda, and the entire PI team.”

“I was a couple thousand miles away when my mom passed and and my step-brother recommended that I use Pacific Internment as he had used them before and had a good result. Glad I gave them a call. Working with Amanda and the staff was fantastic. Amanda worked around my schedules and was able to get the cremation done for what I consider a very reasonable price. She also mailed my mom's remains and the death certificates to me for a reasonable cost as well. Amanda was very pleasant and professional and explained everything very well. Amanda made the experience so much better than I thought it would go. I highly recommend giving them a call to help you in your time of grief. Thank you Pacific Internment and Amanda for your help, it was greatly appreciated.”
