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.

“The difference in care and professionalism between Thomas Family and other funeral homes is evident. Other funeral homes often rush families into decisions and dictate what can be done. Thomas Family works to facilitate funerals in the way that the family wants (within reason, of course). They are kind and compassionate. They made our loved one’s funeral a pleasant experience considering the circumstances. They worked hard to get us the things we needed to honor his memory and lay him to rest. They communicated well and helped managed the funeral process from start to finish. I cannot recommend these guys and gals enough!”

“Can't say enough good things about this business. Handled everything with compassion and dignity for my wife. Was not pushy and very informative. Had a question about something medical. They called around to give me an answer. Very stress free experience, which helps when you are overwhelmed with the death of a loved one.”

“Brett was amazing to work with. He made such a difficult time easier to navigate. We never felt rushed, but also knew all of our options and he was so easy to get a hold of and talk to. It was so nice getting to know him and then he himself being there for us the day of the funeral to help us navigate such a difficult day. The video tribute they helped with turned out perfect and it was a relief not to have to make it ourselves. Thank you Thomas Family, we appreciate you more than you know.”
