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 wifi must have dropped or their phone died while live streaming and they lost a portion of my mothers service. Instead of telling us we have been calling back and forth since Nov. we cannot purchase her home going celebration as it is broken into 2 videos. I left several messages and keep getting the run around, to only notice my mom was the only service, that failed to be recorded in its entirety. We have accepted that it is lost and cannot be retrieved, with no confirmation or apology from the funeral home. Aside from updating the “gift/cake” given from funeral home, and having 2 recording devices to ensure a keepsake for families, no other issue.”
— Salyett Brown
