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.

“On behalf of the Dillon Family, Pastor Reed and his assistants at Royal Reed Funeral Home were very professional and caring. Shortly after notifying Pastor Reed of our loved one passing, he took the time to come to our house and walk us through step-by-step on what to expect throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and our requests made the family feel special. A lot of small things were included in the price which made the process flow a little easier. Thank you Pastor Reed for taking care of the Dillon Family in our time of Bereavement. God has blessed you to be a blessing for others!!”
