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.

“The staff at AFH made everything go very smoothly for my brother's funeral. Mason's experience caused him to guide me through unexpected details. The staff assured me that all would be fine even when I panicked over details that I thought might be overlooked, but they were not...all was in order. It is overwhelming to lose someone and this staff was very comforting through every detail. And, I must give very high praises for the facility. Very well kept up, and very clean.”
— Ann Macey
“Mason and his staff were nothing short of spectacular. They were able to accommodate all of our wishes and went beyond the call of duty to ensure our memorial service for our family member was truly memorable. Mason's kindness, willingness to listen and help, offering suggestions and then following through without being prompted was outstanding. His compassion and understanding, sorting out all the details made you feel as if he was part of our family. He was genuinely concerned. What a wonderful experience he and his associates prepared for our family. A true testament to his work not only for our family but for the community as well. The Pieciak Family”
