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

“I had a calm professional experience with the initial phone call of inquiry of how to proceed thru the ins and outs of pre planning. Once I signed on for their services I felt confident in my decision. There was no pressure whatsoever. Once we needed their final services it was all accomplished smoothly. They have reached out to me with phone calls to give their condolences and to see how I was doing. I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.”
