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.

“Our family recently lost our beloved father to the virus and our experience with Cathy at Northern IL Funeral Services was nothing short of stellar through every phase. This is a family owned and operated business and Cathy is the President and director, yet she still gave us her cell number in case we needed to reach her off hours with questions or any concerns. Clearly their services are in great demand right now and they can barely keep up yet still she never once made us feel rushed or a bother. We cannot thank them enough for treating our hearts with tender respect during this most difficult time and thank them for their most-essential service.”
