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.

— Barry H
“The people at Memorial Funeral Home are friendly and genuinely helpful—especially Clay. He helped me find a way to store my mother-in-law’s ashes, carefully walked me through the contract and online requirements, answered all of my questions with grace, and completed everything on his end quickly. There were many special, caring moments, but what stood out most was that everyone truly tried to make sure our needs were met during a very difficult time. They made a sad situation easier.”
