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.

“Hilary and Peter went above and beyond to provide a beautiful celebration of life ceremony for my Mother. They were exceedingly kind and caring throughout the entire process. From making the arrangements for the ceremony to keeping me updated about the bookmarks we had ordered from the printer I never felt alone in the process. I cannot fully express how much I appreciated their compassion during that difficult time.”

“The Gilligans are wonderful people to work with. They went out of their way to facilitate my family's requests regarding the cremation of my wife. Something people don't like to talk about when it comes to these things is the cost. They could've have nickel and dimed everything but they didn't. Pete was very transparant about the cost up front and it ended up costing less than I had anticipated.”
