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.

“Shame, shame on the funeral director that just was at a funeral for my grandfather-in-law. She told his blood grandchildren that they were not allowed to sit in the front of the church. That it was reserved for his children only. Well lady, my grandfather-in-law had only one blood daughter left and the rest were step-children (of only 9 years.) These blood grandchildren have been part of his life since their births (30+ years!) Shame on you for making them feel bad at their own grandfathers funeral service when they were already mourning and upset enough. Out of line and very poor “work” on your part. There was no need for anyone to tell people where they could and could not sit. In all the funerals I’ve been to, I’ve never encountered someone directing where people are to be seated. And unfortunately I’ve been to quite a few funerals in general. Make sure the family wants that next time. It was very, very odd and off putting. Also, I noticed that the obituary was not in the paper which was very strange. My husband (the blood related grandson) went to Sheets to help take care of everything. There was no talk about not having the obituary in the paper. You are more than welcome to talk to me about my experience through Facebook Messenger. With companies, I prefer a “paper trail” with the correspondence. I left a review on your Facebook if you’re interested in contacting me.”
