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.

“Compassionate, Professional, and Truly Caring We recently entrusted Blount Funeral and Cremations with the arrangements for my beloved grandmother, Barbara, and I cannot say enough about the level of care, dignity, and compassion we received. From start to finish, David Everett and the entire staff went above and beyond to make an incredibly difficult time a little easier for our family. David was kind, attentive, and thoughtful in every detail, answering all our questions and guiding us with patience and professionalism. The service was beautifully done, honoring my grandmother’s memory in a way that was both personal and respectful. Every member of the team treated us with genuine warmth and care. Losing a loved one is never easy, but Blount made us feel supported and comforted throughout the entire process. I am truly grateful to David Everett and the staff for their exceptional service and compassion. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. — Ashton”

“Roger and the entire staff at Blount Funeral and Cremation were wonderful while handling my loved one's services/cremation. Very compassionate and caring. Very honest and upfront about services and cost. They never treated it as a "business transaction", as so many funeral homes do these days. They made sure our family was happy with everything they provided. We could not be happier with the service, compassion and caring we received from them through an already extremely difficult time. I cannot recommend them enough for anyone having to make these extremely difficult decisions for loved ones or for themselves. This isn't something any of us want to think about but it's necessary and Blount Funeral and Cremation made the whole process stress-free so that we could focus on our family. I highly recommend them without hesitation.”
