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.

“In pre planning for a funeral, I spoke with Kayla who was extremely helpful. We discussed all my options and she explained things clearly. I am completely satisfied with what I chose. Since then I have contacted her with questions and she made me feel at ease. Very pleasant experience.”

“In January, our brother, Edward Jenks passed. Eddie’s (Barney) burial had been pre-planned that he be interred near the praying hands sculpture next to his sister and father. Thank you to Natasha Cooper and all staff for their kindness and compassion during this difficult time. Natasha handled all arrangements with professionalism and compassion, making a difficult time less stressful. Gracelawn Memorial Park is a lovely well-kept cemetery. The Jenks Family, Deanna, Barbara, Lou and Paul”

“My son's marker had completely sunk underneath the ground and after letting the office know Kayla was right on it. It was fixed in a matter of minutes. She explained there was a granite stone that could be put underneath to help it from sinking again and I was pleasantly shocked at how reasonable the price was. I would highly recommend Gracelawn and thank you for your help to get the matter quickly resolved”
