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.

“Everyone I met with was kind and helpful. My mother’s funeral was in NY because that is where my father is buried. Sol Levinson arranged for a rabbi affiliated with the congregation my parents were members of for almost 50 years. Dashawn was the Levinson employee present in NY, he was wonderful. As far as these things go it was better than I expected. Even after I returned to Maryland, Levinson has reached out to see how I am doing.”
— Suzanne Blank
“The staff was wonderful, from start to finish. Received calls and call backs in a timely manner. Walked me through the entire process. Family meeting room/receiving room for guests was lovely and contained stuff I didn’t even know I would need. I highly recommend them.”
— Ellen Plaine
“I have dealt with the Levinson family for many years. First seeing what they did for my parents and grandparents as their families passed away, and now for my own family as the baton has been passed down. They have always been professional, compassionate, and considerate in all contact and business transactions and cannot recommend anyone higher in the industry.”
— Howard Cummins
