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.

“Personal informative totally explained all products and extremely understanding of our needs and requests. Treated like family not just a business relationship. Amber assisted us professionally and with special regards with the passing of my wife. Thank You Brown And Sons Norman Philbrick”
— Norman Philbrick
“Very caring and thoughtful. Unfortunately we all need at some point in our lives. Brown & Sons makes a difficult time much easier. They handle so much. Sent my father in law back home to NC. Mark made everything go seem less and Sharon was great to work with on obituaries and getting death certificates. I highly recommend. If needed.”
— David Brown
“Brown and Sons were sweet, compassionate, empathetic and incredibly helpful especially for someone who didn’t know what she was doing. I would highly recommend to anyone in the area. Just amazing people - every single person I talked to from the office person to the funeral directors. I primarily dealt with Bud who was wonderful but interacted with several others who were also kind and caring.”
