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.

“Very kind and efficient service. I live in another state and they made sure the urn arrived as fast as possible, and in a very well protected package. The documentation also arrived very fast. Chuck kept me informed during all the steps of the process.”
— Freny L
“They brought their service to my door and returned my wife''s ashes all in less than a week. That made this most painful time a little less so for me. They kept excellent communication and was most professional. I hope to never have the need again, but if I do, these are the folks I will call.”
