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.

“I highly recommend anyone interested in using Arlington Cremation Services to tap into Emily Fuentes for her expertise. During a tragic month of caring for my terminally ill mother and handling her formalities, it was a relief to work with someone as compassionate and professional as Emily. Not only did she perform a great job communicating every step of the cremation process and providing frequent updates, she also expedited the process knowing that I was visiting from another state and that I needed everything ready for an ash-scattering service at sea, which was fixed a certain day due to favorable weather. I have so much gratitude for Emily’s support and hope that anyone who gets to work with her knows that they can trust her to get things done well and in a timely manner.”
