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.

“A beautiful cemetery that is very well kept. Full of lovely old trees and gravestones. A great place to walk and enjoy the quiet.”
— Mandi
“This is a wonderful cemetery with gorgeous architecture, memorials, headstones. Uncle Sam is buried here! The landscape is well tended and it is just such a peaceful place to walk around. I go here often and it is beautiful, in all weather and seasonal changes.”
— Theresa St. John
“We’ve driven by the chapel a million times but we really knew nothing about it until we stopped in to buy tie dye T-shirts to support their 175th anniversary celebration. What we thought would be a mundane transaction turned into a delightful exploration of the grounds and chapel with David, a very kind gentleman from their office. The T-shirt’s are awesome, as well as the gargoyle key chains, but the brief tour from David was the highlight of our summer! Oakwood has a fascinating history, breathtaking Louis C. Tiffany stained glass windows and fabulous views from throughout the property. We’re looking forward to attending some of their events to explore Oakwood Cemetery even further. What a treasure!!!”
