“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.

“The Smith Funeral Home Team was incredibly kind and personable. Every detail of our fathers funeral was carefully thought out, including suggesting our fathers Church being a more appropriate setting for the viewing, due to the expected amount of guests wanting to pay their respects. From the moment we alerted Bill of our fathers passing, we received immediate attention, making certain all of our fathers wishes were fulfilled, from placement of his rosary to the placement of his casket at the viewing & funeral. Everyone at Smith Funeral Home made a very painful experience more peaceful. We couldn’t be more grateful for their outstanding service that exceeded our expectations.”
