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.

What Families Say
“Upon the passing of my husband, the staff at Dinoto Funeral Home were there to guide me through the difficulty of making the arrangements. Joe, Susan and the rest of the staff were kind, compassionate and professional. We decided to have a celebration of life and they transformed the home into a welcoming place to greet and interact with family and friends. A photo montage of my husband throughout his life were on two screens and his favorite music played in the background. I highly recommend Dinoto Funeral Home.”
— Nancy W.
“I never thought about the day that I would need to write a review for a funeral home, but after losing my mother in law unexpectedly last week, here we are. Dinoto's took care of our family from the very first moment we found ourselves in this awful situation. The concern, care, and dedication everyone had to making sure everything went seamlessly was much appreciated. Thank you to Joe and the team for everything.”
— Nicole Sweeney
“If you are ever in the unfortunate position of having to plan a funeral, this is where you want to go. From beginning to end, Joe and crew did absolutely everything to make a terrible and stressful time more manageable. Having never planned a funeral before, neither my mother nor I had any idea what to expect. Joe patiently guided us through the whole process, answered any questions we had, and did everything to honor my father's final wishes. They threw in many small personal touches that they did not have to in order to make my family comfortable. Thank you Joe for your compassion and kindness during what were some of the worst days of our lives.”
