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.

“From the first contact to begin the process of cremation for my daughter we were treated with the utmost respect, patience, and compassion. I have used cremation services over the years in both MN and Florida. The Cremation Society of MN has been the best from beginning to end. Even after receiving my daughter's ashes they have stayed in touch to help us navigate life going forward. A sincere than you from our whole family. Julie is now at home in her urn with butterflies and flowers. The old Irish belief is the butterfly is the reflection of the deceased person's soul. I also have ashes in a heart on a bracelet which says: "Your wings were ready. My heart was not." So she is with me wherever I go.”
— Mary Carlson
“In a difficult time, it was reassuring to be in the hands of the Cremation Society who were so caring, professional, and knowledgeable. They explained everything that needed to be done with the passing of my loved one. Answers my follow up questions with kindness and assured me that all would be taken care of, even if I had never been through this process myself. Honestly, the best experience I could have at one of the most difficult times in my life.”
— Xinia Foster
“Everything was taken care of with empathy and compassion and the staff were professional from start to finish. I really appreciate how much care and thought was put into their service and support. I would recommend Cremation Society to my family and friends.”
