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.

“Dana and Jerry were very helpful especially when we were in the parlor for the viewing and a storm rolled in that was so bad we couldn’t have a graveside service. Rose came in and offered the parlor for the service. That worked out well and was beautiful and more personal to me. Everyone said it was a very nice service. I appreciate that. The only reason I gave 4 stars was there was a small issue that has been addressed and corrected to the best of their ability. Thank you Jerry for your compassion”
