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.

“They are so respectful helpful and caring in the most difficult times. A beautiful cemetery”

“I want to express my deepest gratitude to Chapel of the Chimes and funeral director Althea. When my Dad started declining, someone suggested them as one of the local mortuaries I should consider setting up a funeral plan with. I spoke with Althea, and immediately felt that she was the right person to work with to create a plan for my father's eventual memorial. She was compassionate, personal, professional, flexible, available, and I always felt completely committed to fulfilling my needs, not her business'. She was especially helpful in finding ways to work within my budget, which I deeply appreciated. If you are looking for a mortuary and funeral director, I 100% recommend you consider Althea and Chapel of the Chimes-it is a very personal choice, but for our family's needs I cannot imagine working with anyone else.”

“It was an excellent experience. I spend a considerable amount of time with Sarah Faith Walton going over all my options. She was very informative, meticulous, detailed, precise and extremely kind. I might also add that she was very honest and forthright. I can't rave enough about her. I actually contacted another facility for comparative pricing, and though they were nice, I was so impressed with the personal service I received from Sarah and the cost of services that were offered through the Chapel of the Chimes Funeral Home that I didn't even hesitate to sign a contract for myself and my husband. I highly recommend the Chapel of the Chimes Funeral Home and especially Ms. Walton if you want the assurance of professionalism and thoughtfulness.”
