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

“Beth Astoff was wonderful! My wife and I went in to Pitman in Wentzville to prearrange our cremation. We had made an appointment for 2:00 and arrived early but Beth was ready for us. We had very limited information on the subject which we read online. Beth walked us through every step of the process and answered all of our many questions. She explained everything very thoroughly in terms that we could understand. It was great to deal with a very courteous professional. The funeral home is a great building too. Thanks Beth!”

““Pitman Funeral Home went above and beyond in every way. From the moment we walked through their doors, we were treated with compassion, patience, and true care. The staff guided us gently through each step, making a very difficult time easier to navigate. They were professional yet personable, attentive to every detail, and genuinely listened to what our family needed. The service was handled with dignity and respect, and we are so grateful for the comfort they provided during such a hard time. I highly recommend Pitman Funeral Home to anyone seeking a team who truly cares about the families they serve.”

“Where do we start. Mom had a contract with them everything setup and I was paying on it monthly for her. Mom pass we had to go in to go over it. Kevin (I think that was his name) told us he had to put it all on a new form. Everything stood same other than dealth certificates and I wanted a cross which I was going to pay for. He wanted me to sign my cousin ask him if that makes me liable for remaining balance as it is my nephew who is to take care of per insurance and will. He said no just that we went over Everything your mom wanted and make sure stays same. We gave him nephew info but it turns out they are going after me. Then mom had a spot on her nose with no makeup, makeup was to dark, and they had her head facing us which made it hard on family. I would not recommend them!”
