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 unfortunately needed the services of Progressive Funeral Home with the passing of my mother. I was totally clueless on what needed to be done, and everyone there was so helpful and walked me through each step from beginning to end. Evon was especially helpful, kind, and understanding. I would highly recommend.”
— Sharon Richardson
“Very disappointed that this funeral home could not get a basic thing like the time of service correct. I had to call them to let them know that they posted the time of service incorrectly. Also, the directions given at the end of the service by the funeral director were horrible. Disorganized and people did not know what to do. People were driving in front of the hearse. Dissatisfied and will not be using this funeral home again for any other family member or friend. Their professional service fee was by far not equal to for their less than professional service rendered.”
