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.

“I highly recommend Dolby, Blais &Segee, especially recommend Emily's oversight. She was just fantastic from start to finish. When you are dealing with the shock of a loved one's loss, its hard to concentrate and go through funeral planning. She was so kind and understanding, honorable, and very responsive. Questions were responded to pronto! Emails were responded to pronto! She followed up at every turn. I felt heartened by her humanity, honestly. Both Emily and Elizabeth reached out weeks later just to check in expressed such kind words. I also want to say when my Dad died back in 2008, we went with Blais - it was a separate entity back then. They were great too which prompted us to go with DBS this time. In closing, death is part of life but not easily dealt with. It is a comfort to know your loved one is in a better place, as it is a comfort to know your loved one is in good hands here on earth.”
