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.

“My wife and family couldn't be sadder to write this review or even say that we would highly recommend them. The smoothest part of loosing our son was the way they handled everything for us. Very small error corrected instantly. They were by far the most caring understanding funeral home her or I have ever used. We both have barried our father's so unfortunately we do have experience with dealing with funeral homes and funeral home directors. Thank you so much David and his family for helping us make this as smooth as possible. Such caring, and understanding people. My son deserved the best and my wife and I feel as if he truly received the best from you guys”
