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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Each time I visit my grandmother's final resting place, it has been destroyed by the yards keepers. When I complained to the news owners, I was assured this wouldn't happen again. Her grave was completely covered up, I reset her headstone that had been broken cleaned up around the area and today it was destroyed again. So the new owners can't lay fault on anyone else. I guess the only way to get results is to contact the News network. This needs to sease and be corrected. November 27, 2022 the area has been cleaned and new flowers.”

“Good Afternoon, On March 29th, we laid my cousin to rest. It has now been two months since her burial, and we recently went to pay our respects by laying flowers at her grave on Sunday, May 25. To our shock, we found an unmarked grave containing a casket, with no dirt covering it. We cannot be certain if this is our loved one, as there is no name indicated. Regardless of whether it is our family member or not, this is illegal and utterly unacceptable. I am extremely dissatisfied with Middle Georgia Memorial Gardens; their lack of regard for the deceased and grieving families is appalling. We demand answers about my cousin’s whereabouts! Where is Estella West?!”
