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.

“Deacon Johnelle Caver and staff had my mother Pearlie Goss looking like a queen. Great casket style and beautiful. The service was good quality, comforting, helpful and communication was really on point. I was walked through with everything I needed to do even going to to cemetery and what to do. Connected me to a great graphic designer Mr. Harris. I had no idea what to do and grieving over my mother. Good job, well done. Thank you and God Bless you”
