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.

“My father is in hospice care and my mother has significant mobility issues. I take care of them both in their home, which makes getting out difficult. When I told Caitlyn this, she promptly offered to come to their home to make final arrangements for both of them. She is incredibly kind, knowledgable, and efficient as from the first phone call to final signature it was all completed in two days. It's also worth mentioning that I called 7 cremation businesses and Simple Cremation is the least expensive.”

“Caitlyn Ottmann made the experience very easy to do pre arrangements for my father for whenever he may need it. I was able to setup a payment plan with her and I won't have to worry about anything in the future. I plan on doing one for myself and husband as well to make it easy for our children down the road. The price was very reasonable which is a huge plus.”
— Ava Bayless
“Kaitlan was extremely helpful with the whole process. She was very knowledgeable. She took care of all the paperwork. Answered all of my questions, and then helped my wife with her questions. I feel she went over and beyond with her help. She made it a very pleasant visit.”
