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.

“I am very pleased with Northwood Funeral and I highly recommend them. Paul was so understanding, considerate, empathetic, and helpful. I remembered how wonderful they were with the services for my mother in 2019 but was given several other funeral homes to consider. I contacted other funeral homes but I’m so glad that I chose them. Now one year later after losing my beloved son, they continue to follow up me. Showing stellar service, empathy, and compassion. They are the perfect choice at an unimaginable difficult time. Thank you Paul and the Northwood Funeral Home staff. Warmest Regards, Cheryl Johnson (mother of Jordan A. Riley 3/16/99 - 10/18/24)”
