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.

“I recently researched the area for a good florist and chose Colony House. I had a concern about the arrangement received; and within a few hours, I was contacted. My concern was discussed and a BEAUTIFUL replacement arrangement was received. Unfortunately,in today's times, there is not a lot of integrity and professional ethics displayed. But this is NOT the case with Colony House of Flowers. The response and genuine care for the "special occasions "of others was much appreciated! Would do business with, and recommend them to anyone! Well done, and Thank you,Colony House of Flowers!”
