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.

“Asalamu alaikum, a close friend of my family recently passed away and was buried last week. They used Khadijah Alderman’s Funeral Services in Philadelphia for picking up the sister that passed away, the washing, and shrouding and burial. SubhanAllah, it was such a phenomenal experience. My mom and the mother of the sister that passed away were able to wash and help shroud the sister that passed away. When my mother and I left, we both said that if Allah decrees that we pass away within the tri-state area; we both would request that Sister Khadijah and her staff handle the entire process. They were all so warm and welcoming as well as caring and they also provided Islamic proofs and evidences any time you had a question. I would 100% recommend her services if you or your loved one passes away and you would like the process to be done smoothly and most importantly, with so much respect and dignity (especially to the one that passed away).”

“I want to sincerely thank Khadijah Alderman Funeral Home for the kind and compassionate care they showed my family during the Janazah of my brother, Anwar. From the very beginning, they were warm, understanding, and respectful of our faith and traditions. They took the time to walk us through every step of the process with patience and care, which meant so much during such a difficult time. We truly felt supported and never rushed. Their professionalism combined with their genuine kindness made a hard day a little easier. I’m truly grateful for the service they provided and the way they honored my brother’s life and our family. May Allah bless them for the work they do.”
