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.

— Rebecca Shapiro
“Thank you so much Carrie and David for making this not only easy but memorable, respectful and dignified. My father would have been so proud to know that his memorial was done with such respect. Your whole staff helped our family every step of the way answering every question and going the extra mile to ensure this would be a truly memorable occasion for our whole family. May God richly bless you and your staff in helping people honor their loved ones. 🙏”

“The service of the staff here was timely, caring, and not pushy. They were very attentive to our needs and did not oversell anything. They were able to provide my mom's ashes in a shorter than expected time frame, which made our perfect family service at my parent's home possible. I could not imagine a better experience with another staff team.”
