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.

“I don’t have enough words to express my gratitude to this phenomenal group of individuals who took such care in assisting my family in preparing for the home going services for my mother’s passing.

I want to give a special thank you to Pastor Mike, who gave a wonderful eulogy and fellowshipped with our family after the service. I am truly blessed to have connected with them all. From our family to yours, God bless each and every one you!!!”

“I helped a friend plan for her husband's final goodbye this week. We were told to ask for Whitney by another friend. She was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable and most of all kind. Everything ran smoothly. My family has always used McKneely for final needs and we have never been disappointed. They will continue as this family's funeral home. Thank you again Whitney for all your time and patience!”
