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

“My grandmother’s services were held at this facility and unfortunately the experience was disappointing and disheartening. The staff came across as surprisingly insensitive given the nature of their business. The officiant clearly had not prepared he even mispronounced one of the most common names (also the name of a state, spelled the same) which felt careless and disrespectful. His delivery was confusing, making it difficult to follow what he was trying to convey. To make matters worse, instead of reading parts of the service aloud, he asked the family to read them ourselves, which felt inappropriate and impersonal for such an occasion. Additionally, the staff told us we could not speak to one another during the service because other funerals were taking place. While I understand this is a business, a funeral home should still prioritize compassion and respect for grieving families. Guy & Allen may be one of the oldest funeral homes in Gary but from my experience that does not equate to quality service. I encourage families to explore other options when honoring their loved ones.”
