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.

“Community Funeral Homes, Sylacauga, Alabama. Where do I start? Thank you for everything! From the hospitality to the patient and friendly staff. No stone was left unturned. We were treated as if we were close family. Whatever we asked, they remembered and accommodated! Phenomenal detail! Chairs were dropped off for us. Not to mention, a beautiful white wreath was placed on the front door. We used the funeral homes minister, musician, and singer, who were just amazing. Beautiful poster size pictures of my sister, beautiful colored obituaries, gorgeous fresh smelling carnation flowers, and lovely lily plants placed perfectly by her casket, and to top it off, a tree planted in her name. Comfort in times of need. There when it matters most. They really made a difference. The Family of Julia White, Jones”
