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.

“My sister and I, along with our family, suffered the unexpected loss of our mother last week, and we were overwhelmed with grief. Grandchildren, great grandchildren, and extended family and friends, were all trying to process the shock. In the middle of all of this, Mr. Kevin Comeau (and his associates), of Comeau Funeral Home became a steady, compassionate guide who truly walked beside us through every step. The care she received from EMS responders, hospital doctors, nurses, and hospice staff was beyond reproach. But when reality settled in with her final breath, her appearance reflected the starkness of physical death, and it was heartbreaking to think that this might be our last memory of her. Unsure of what to do next, we reached out for help. When we called Mr. Kevin Comeau of the Comeau Funeral Home for guidance, he immediately eased our minds. He assured us that once she was in his care, he would use his experience, empathy, and skill to restore a peaceful, dignified appearance so our family could say goodbye with comfort rather than distress. He delivered on that promise with extraordinary care. When we saw her again, she looked serene and at peace, a transformation that allowed us to begin healing. That single act of compassion set the tone for a beautiful, spiritual, and comforting wake, Mass, and interment. It meant everything to our family. Mr. Comeau’s professionalism is exceptional, but it is his humanity that truly sets him apart. He supported us, guided us, and treated our loved one with the utmost respect. We are deeply grateful for the kindness he showed during one of the hardest weeks of our lives. Comeau Funeral Home and Mr. Kevin Comeau have our heartfelt thanks.”

“Kevin is nothing short of lovely. We meet after the very tragic and unexpected death of a friend. My friend didn't have any family and we had no idea what to do when we got the news. Kevin helped us so much, knowing we didn't have the resources to facilitate a service for her. He listened to our stories about her and shared in our sorrow, as well as our reverence for her. He helped so many people get closure by offering us a venue to pay our respects. If it weren't for Kevin and his wonderful staff, this would not have been possible. I will hold him in the deepest gratitude. There's no one else I would want to handle the delicacies of the passing of a loved one. Thank you so much, Kevin!”

“I called, upset, they butchered the names of relatives throughout the whole obituary. They did not verify anything, kevin comeau answered the phone, and he was rude. He had no empathy. He yelled at me, said, "What is he a mind reader?" I said you could have just looked up the family name? They were predecease, how much time would that have taken? They predeceased died in a fire in 1984, Kathy Clocher, Ann Clocher, Gloria (Brown) Clocher, they wrote Kassie Closure, Ann Closure, For being in this line of business and you take no responsibility for what you are printing, you are not a nice person. He could have said, "Sorry, he could have said lets get it right. Do you think he would have been upset if it was his family? She was poor, but not her whole family. Do you think you can just treat people like that, Kevin? Anyone who gives this guy business is just feeding into his wallet, he doesnt care about families and their recent loss. He's a fake. I asked him if we could fix it after he had said they could fix it, and he said no. Then he hung up on me. So let me tell you, I lost my youngest son dad in September 2024, My older childrens dad, February 19, 2025, my cousin here and my brother yesterday, June 13th, 2025. I lost my mom in 2001. I've lost a lot of people, and I have never been treated so horribly. I am not talking to them ever again. Ive said what I've had to say”
