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.

“Elaine Mulligan was wonderful to work with when planning the memorial service for our mother. Fortunately, our mother had prepared and completed the preplanning for her own funeral needs. Elaine was available whenever we had any questions. She and the other funeral directors and assistants were very attentive to the details for the memorial service and making sure everything was ready and available as needed.”

“I tried leaving a message under my father’s obituary and it appears I’m blocked? We had a strained relationship nonetheless I was not notified that my father passed away months ago by his wife (not my mother) nor any family member which is ludicrous, dysfunction at its best! A sad world we live in how people treat others especially family members, R.I.P. dad. PS My mum pictured whom we lost to Cancer in 1986, mum and dad were married 29 years and when he married Jan she wouldn’t let him visit her nitch.”
