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.

“They made a couple of mistakes. I was told to get a death certificate in the wrong county, and they didn't call me to pick up the ashes. But the price was great, and the young lady who helped me when I picked up the ashes was very nice, helpful, and professional. I would recommend them highly.”
— Jeff Dougal
“No frills, but got the job done cost effectively and sensitively with minimal hassle. The remains were shipped out-of-state and delivered appropriately.”
