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.

“JC Hellum Funeral Home, Inc. is truly special to my family and me. We used them a couple of weeks ago for the passing of my sister. From the moment we called them for their price list, we heard their care and compassion. Once we decided to utilize their services, Ms. Wendy and Ms. Newman were on it. From start to finish, we laughed and even cried for a moment. Just like me, Ms. Wendy is very detailed when completing the arrangements and wants excellence. She was very responsive and accommodating with my many phones, texts, and emails (early and late) for thoughts, requests, or to check-in. It felt like a family with their services. The funeral home team were all friendly and supportive, and everything was beautiful. The convenience of the drive-through viewing at their Murfreesboro location was an excellent way to stay within the COVID-19 guidelines. All were professional and not a detail missed. There was no pressure for upgrades, and you could tell that she and her staff wanted perfection. I genuinely appreciate JC Hellum Funeral Home, Inc. and each staff member (because there are others behind the scene) that made each moment and the final services memorable, especially during this COVID-19 pandemic. Your talents, skills, positive spirit, humor, hospitality, and genuine care reflect how our Lord created you, and it shined just like His light shines in our lives. On behalf of the family of our beloved Takysha M. Carter, we thank you and ask that God continue to bless each of you. You have been a source of comfort and healing for our family during this difficult time. Blessings, Brandon "Terrell" Carter”
