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 cannot share my gratitude with Stephen, Anna and their son enough for the extraordinary service they rendered. We knew my father was leaving us "soon", but he declined very quickly at the end. As a result, we really hadn't gotten very far in the way of pre-planning. Stephen was amazing, slowly, calmly stepping us through all of the considerations. My father dropped over 65% of his body weight during his illness, but they did an amazing job restoring some of his old visage. Their kindness, their thoroughness, and their attention to detail are all to be commended. I would strongly encourage anyone who's considering end of life care to give them a call and start planning today.”

“Mystic Funeral home did an exceptional job arranging my mother's services. They walked my family and I through the entire process and helped us make difficult decisions quickly while being caring and sensitive to us. My mother looked amazing, Anna treated her with care and made her look peaceful and natural. Stephen and his son took great care the day of the funeral and everything went as planned. If you ever find yourself in need of this service I would not hesitate to recommend them. Thank you again.”

“I don't write reviews, so it may seem odd that I am writing one for a funeral home, but the care, kindness, respect, and attention to detail shown by MFH - Stephen, Anna and team for my Aunt's passing was excellent. I could not recommend them more. They took great care of us all.”
