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.

“McCormick & Son Mortuary were incredibly supportive. Over the course of a week, I visited and called them multiple times with various questions. Michael was so understanding. We were able to transform the chapel into an extension of Mom's warm and welcoming living room while showcasing her gallery of quilts. The adjacent room was perfect for gathering and light refreshments. Thank you so much for being so accommodating—we're forever grateful.”

“Miranda was exceptional!! I lost my mom in October and this was the first time I’d lost a parent. When I met with Miranda, she had a sense of calm and kindness that seemed to make everything at the moment a little bit better. Throughout the entire process, she went above and beyond my expectations to make things easier for my family, even making sure that the death certificates got to our estate attorney, since we were from out of state and had to travel back home for a couple weeks before coming back out to Laguna Beach to finalize everything. Miranda definitely made a tough situation a lot better, just by the ease of dealing with her calm, caring, compassionate and professional attitude with wanting to help in any way that she could. Thank you so much Miranda and McCormick and Son Mortuaries for giving my family a very peaceful end to a terrible situation. Miranda, I hope you see this review as well, because you are the face of this establishment in my eyes and THANK YOU for making my situation better. I appreciate you more than I could ever explain in words.”

Thank you!”
