“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.

“Our mother passed away in August 2025. When my sister and I went to Connelly Funeral we didn’t know anything about making arrangements because we never had to do this before. Connelly Funeral helped us so much. They definitely guided us in the correct direction the whole way. I know in my heart Connelly took great care of our mother. I would definitely recommend Connelly Funeral Home. Thank you so much for all the help!”
