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.

“On behalf of the family of Edward J Moranville, we could not have been more pleased with Matthew O’Neill and the O’Neill Funeral Home in Middleboro. Anticipating my father’s death within the next few weeks, I recently contacted Matthew to discuss future next steps. He could not have been more thoughtful and gracious, understanding what a difficult time this was for our family. The morning my father passed, I called Matthew, set up an appointment for our family to meet with him to plan the service. He personally went to the nursing home to pick my dad up. Early that afternoon, my sister, brother-in-law, and I met to plan a wonderful service for our father. Matthew made thoughtful suggestions, answered all of our questions and concerns. We felt comfortable that Matthew was going to take care of everything. And he did. A few days before the service, the weather looked a bit stormy, so he arranged for a canopy at graveside, just in case. This is just one of the many details Matthew oversees. Each of his referrals, from the pastor who led the service, to an attorney who could answer some of the estate questions we had, every single person Matthew led us to was totally amazing. The service was beautiful, well organized, and perfect. I told Matthew recently our family looks to him as a new friend/member of our family. Matthew will take care of your family with the same compassion and love he delivered to our family. Thank you, Matthew, for having a very sad and painful time, a time of comfort and celebration. There is no finer funeral home for your family needs than O’Neill.”

“There are no words to describe how wonderful Matthew at O’Neills Funeral Home is. We had our Moms funeral services at O’Neills Funeral Home. Matthew was with us every step of the way during this difficult time for our family. Matthew is very kind and compassionate person. He is a professional and can help you with any concerns. Our family would like to thank him for treating us like his family. Sincerely, Chris, Jean and Wendy”
