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.

“Ordered flowers through this website. Did not deliver. Teleflora ignored request to deliver on day of funeral. Horrible service by Fulton Theroux for allowing a third party that could not follow through on a simple delivery. Now the family has no idea that I Ordered and Paid For flowers. Shameful non service by the funeral home and its incompetent associates. Tony Schillaci and Don Church”
— Don Church
“The people at Fulton-Theroux have been wonderful during a difficult time. Starting with my initial call with John White, and then Nick Fulton, who oversaw everything and finally Carolyn. All were extremely professional and pleasant, took care of everything and on schedule, with a smile. They even made recommendations beyond funeral arrangements, what to prepare for, etc. Thank you Nick and family. I would easily give you a 10/10 if Google allowed it.”
— David Kinyon
