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.

“I was with my best friend throughout her whole journey with this company. None of which was easy for anybody. This establishment claims that they have compassion and care but since day one they did not prove this. No sympathy for the situation whatsoever. They treated my friends mother like another numbered body. That being said, we picked up her mother and the number was wrong. Sending everybody into a panic because we had already been through enough. They assured us that it was human error and was entered wrong. Now, the death certificate she received had missing information. This has not been a great experience at all. They showed no compassion, care or sympathy in a time that was already hard enough. The death of a loved one is the hardest thing to endure and to add in extra stress is absolutely ridiculous. Especially since their prices are outrageous and they claim to have great customer service.”

“We have used this funeral home, 3 times. We have ALWAYS been thoroughly Satisfied, with their services. They treat you like family. They put you at ease, and want you to be totally satisfied, with everything. They are a Great Family, that runs this funeral home. I wouldn't dream of using anyone else!!!!”
— Karla Spiller
“They were wonderful during such a sad time for me and my family. They were sincere and considerate, sweet and very understanding. They didn't rush us and explained everything for me and my sister at the time. Every person I met through them was phenomenal and super nice. When visitation time came they made it seem so smooth when we were all so very sad.”
