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.

“If you or your loved ones pays the premium price to be in a "patio" area or mausoleum you get a quarter of the visitation rights. In other words, if your loved ones are in the ground on ANY special holidays, you can visit them. If you're loved ones are in any of the premium areas you CANNOT..they place illogical restrictions on the ability to visit your loved ones on any of the holidays. Infuriating.”

“I'm writing this review, not from the viewpoint of having attended a funeral or having a loved one buried there. My viewpoint is non-emotional and one of a volunteer. I find the grounds well maintained and the staff is nothing short of wonderful. I've made Gate of Heaven cemetery the primary place of my volunteer work.”
— Jason Roth
“Well maintained, the staff at the office are very knowledgeable and kind. They helped us find the location of family members who were buried there in different locations by providing us with a map and explaining how to drive to the location. They answered our questions as to burial information on existing plots.”
