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.

“We had a traditional Hindu funeral services here and were extremely happy with the whole process that was handled by James and Carolyn. We coordinated the majority of the process remotely, and they were very helpful and communicative throughout the planning. It was also their first Hindu funeral, and despite not knowing what to expect, they were remarkably compassionate and accommodating to our needs. They made us feel like a family and went out of their way to make the funeral process very easy right from the beginning to the very end. We couldn’t recommend this place more! Thank you so much Carolyn and James for all your support.”
