Questions to Ask When You Call
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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Just wanted to take a moment and share with everyone the gratitude our family has for Matt Funeral Services. Our family has unfortunately needed their service a few time over the past couple of years and each time the staff has gone above and beyond to make things easy during our difficult times. I would like to especially thank Dominick for all his help and for making our smallest requests not feel like they were a burden.”
— Patty Andrews
“Not my first funeral, but definitely the one that will stand out. Tony and his family cover every detail with grace and compassion. Our "herd of cats" was welcomed like family and treated like royalty. Thank you, Matt, for making a hard time much, much easier.”
— Susan Fanelli
“As they did in 1991 for my Aunt Marie Zumpano, they did the same stellar and perfect job for my father whose funeral was at Matt. The staff is caring and understanding. Matt is so clean and so immaculate. Highly recommend Matt Funeral Home to everyone. Kindness, generous”
