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.

“We are incredibly grateful for our experience with the Cremation Society of Virginia. During such a difficult time, having compassionate and competent support makes all the difference, and that is exactly what we received. Cheyene is the absolute best to work with. She was kind, patient, and exceptionally responsive from start to finish. Every question was answered clearly, every detail was handled professionally, and she made a challenging process feel manageable and dignified. Her empathy and calm presence truly stood out. The entire process was smooth, transparent, and handled with great care. We felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend the Cremation Society of Virginia, and if you have the opportunity to work with Cheyene, you will be in excellent hands.”

“We have used the services of the Cremation Society of Virginia three times. In each case they were amazing. Very professional yet extremely caring and sympathetic. They made a difficult and depressing situation so much easier to navigate. No one is in the proper state of mind when dealing with the loss of a loved one. The last thing you need is to struggle with the remains of your loved one. You want it to proceed with dignity and respect for both the body of the decedent and the law mourning of the loved ones. The Cremation Society does those things and without a draining debt. God bless them all.”
