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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 Garlick was exceptional--caring and gracious throughout in helping us cope with the painful loss of the deeply loved head of our family. The atmosphere in the facility was appropriately somber but also light and airy with lovely, broad windows allowing sunlight into an otherwise dark event. We could not have been more grateful about how Garlick managed the day.”
— Daniel Modell
“The staff at Garlick was extremely helpful in both pre-planning and at the time of my dear mother's death. Everything was in place, and taken care of, and they followed up quickly with notification of agencies and getting certificates. Paul and others were very kind during a very difficult time.”
