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.

“I so appreciate two of your grounds staff, Carlos and Jose’, for being so courteous, caring and helpful to me, today. I hadn’t been able to visit since before the pandemic and was having a hard time finding my grandparents’ graves again. They were so kind and went out of their way to lead me right to their sites. These caring staff should be commended for their compassionate, outstanding service. Thank you, Carlos and Jose’!”

“So disappointed with Montecito! Today I found out that my Father in laws Christmas decorations were going to be thrown out along with everyone else that have decorated for there loved ones. Last year we decorated Dec 1 along with many others and had NO problems. And this year with NO notification of changes they very disrespectfully decided to remove and discard of holiday decor. Extremely inappropriate and tacky!”
