Questions to Ask When You Call
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.

“This was not my first experience with J. Collins Funeral Home, but it was the closest and most personal—and I can say without hesitation that their service far exceeds any other provider I’ve worked with. From the moment my mother passed, they handled everything with such grace and dignity. Mr. J. Collins himself came to my mom’s humble home to attend to her personally. That meant so much. He shared with me that he had lost his own mother to lung cancer at a young age, and in that moment, I knew he truly understood. His presence wasn’t just professional—it was personal. As someone who’s worked with grieving families in law enforcement and cemetery management, I’ve seen how emotional decisions can lead to families being taken advantage of. But that was never the case here. One of the greatest gifts my mom left me was that she had preplanned her services with J. Collins. That saved our family over $2,000 even after inflation, and not once did anyone at the funeral home try to upsell or steer me toward anything other than what my mom had chosen. Their communication was impeccable—I never had to call to ask about the cremation status, death certificate, or next steps. They were always one step ahead, guiding me through the process with clarity and care. I’m forever grateful for the way they honored my mother and supported me as her daughter through the hardest goodbye I’ve ever had to say.”
