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.

“Rudest funeral service I have experienced. Yesterday I went to my uncles services that were held here and the funeral director was extremely rude. The tone in her voice was not it, she did not respect the hurt of the family. Once it hit closing time she rudely kicked everyone out and shut the doors. I understand when its closing time well its closing time, however there are ways to ask people to find their way out especially in these hard times. When trying to leave I had to pick up my grandpa (he is a 94 yr old who can barely walk but obviously there to say his good byes to his brother). The security outside refused to let us back in our car to get him in even after mentioning my grandpa could not walk long distance we were just trying to get him in. Finally he let us in. When loading my grandpa into the car I was buckling his seatbelt when security once again said, “I need you to hurry up and leave”. At this point I looked at him frustrated and told him, “do you not see me buckling an elderly person up? Not around by choice still”. I am not a person to leave negative reviews, however I did not appreciate the service here at all. I’d give 0 stars if I could. These people are servicing for business only. They don't care about the families grieving nor show respect. I would never ever recommend. Look elsewhere. People say they are cheaper than other places, could be true but I’d rather pay a little more and have a better experience especially in hard times like these.”
