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 cannot thank Minshall-Shroppshire Funeral Home enough for the care, compassion, and support they provided during such a difficult time for our family. Norman, Michael, and Carmella are truly incredible people — they made us feel like family from the very beginning. Their warmth, empathy, and professionalism created a sense of comfort that we will never forget. They recently helped us with the funeral arrangements for my Pop, and the service they put together was absolutely beautiful. Every detail was handled with such thoughtfulness and respect, and it was clear how much love and care went into honoring his memory. I’m so grateful for their guidance and the kindness of their entire staff. They made a heartbreaking time a little easier, and I will always be thankful for that. Minshall-Shroppshire is truly a special place, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of compassionate, dignified care for their loved ones.”

“The absolute kindest most attentive people to work with. Our family was very comforted knowing my mother in law was in such great care. Carmella was always on top of everything and made everything run smoothly, relieving any stress so we could focus on grieving. Pricing was also the best in the area. They even supported our outlandish idea of having her ashes put into a wine bottle instead of an urn and it turned out perfect. I would highly recommend them to take care of your loved ones!”
— Ashley Dreyer
“Carmella the Funeral Director at Minshall Shropshire, provided excellent service to me and my sister's during the passing of the mother. Also, the staff did an amazing job with mother and we couldn't have been more pleased. Carmella was very professional, empathetic, meticulous and very responsive whenever I reached-out to her, even on a Sunday morning. She made everything very manageable for our family, during a very difficult time. We received a package at the end of the service, including thank you cards, laminated remembrance cards, etc. All neatly wrapped in silver twine. I would highly recommend.”
