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.

“My father-in-law passed away and Serenity Funeral and Cremation came highly recommended from the sheriffs department, (My father-in-law was a retired LA County Sheriff Captain), and Daniel was not only incredibly professional, he was kind, compassionate, and truly showed respect to my father-in-law. Death is HARD, there is no way around it. But having someone to help honor your loved one, to take care of them in the way you can only pray for, that is priceless. Daniel was communicative and helped to ensure all of our plans ran smoothly. We are so thankful for the kindness shown and the love given to us in this difficult time.”
