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.

“This place has taken 3 weeks !!! Yes 3 weeks to cremate my sons body. I never received a single update about anything from anyone at the home. I had to call and harass them to get answers. The director offered the service at no charge. I said I would be by to pick his remains up this weekend and now they’re not answering the phones and th director hasn’t responded to my texts !!! I’m so so mad this place is even open. We trust them with our loved ones remains and this is how we get treated. I just want to put my baby to rest !”
