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.

“The staff at Bound’s Funeral Home was incredibly patient, kind and supportive during our difficult time. Gave us the time and space for each decision I had to take. Few days into my husband passing I called the funeral home at 4 am asking to see my husband right away, in a gentle kind voice Melissa said she can arrange for me to see my husband as soon as they opened. They handled everything with professionalism and care, ensuring that the service was beautiful and respectful. I appreciate everyone who work there for their time, effort, care and compassion towards us. I highly recommend Bound’s Funeral Home for anyone in need of compassionate and professional funeral services. They truly made a difficult time a little ease for our family. Times like these you need people who care about you and your loved one.”
