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.

“What a tremendous blessing the Churchman family is as well as their staff. Kind, compassionate, professional and dedicated to the delicate service of providing such a difficult moment with such heart. Edith, Simone, Mr. Rowe and all of those who were a part of our experience were outstanding. Talk about love. We don't live in or near Newark but our circumstances had us there and I'm just so grateful that in our search we called them first. They only provided the services we needed versus the ones we were told by others that we had to have by law. Wasn't true saving us thousands of dollars while not compromising the sacred ritual and the beauty of it that we were preparing. God Bless you all for the tremendous service you are and have been providing for over 100 years. Peace Camille C”

“Just acknowledging the exceptional work Churchman's continues to do through the years. My family has used their services on serval occasions and most recently a friend was also funeralized through them. They are attentive, caring, professional, and you don't feel like just another family they are serving. We have always been pleased with their services and would not go anywhere else in our time of need. Thank you Ms. Edith, Simone, and the Churchman Staff”

“I can't say enough good things about Churchman! Efficient, flexible, and professional family-owned funeral home with first class service. The staff are all very kind, patient and thoughtful. They do absolutely magnificent work on face, dress and hair; your loved one will look just like their regular self. Churchman is undoubtedly unmatched in the city of Newark and even beyond.”
