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.

“Michael Steele was very helpful when he assisted my aunt with her pre paid arrangements. He answered all of her questions and left her with peace of mind that her wishes will be carried out. I left with a very good feeling also when Michael assisted me pre paying my own cremation. It had been on my mind and I was relieved to know that Magnolia South offered that service. I have only heard complimentary things about them. I recommend them highly! My mother also plans to use them for her funeral.”
