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.

“Losing my mom’s husband has been one of the most difficult experiences our family has faced, but the team at Smith Family Funeral & Cremation Services made an incredibly hard time feel a little more manageable. From the very beginning, everyone there was beyond kind, compassionate and deeply respectful. They took the time to clearly and patiently explain every step of the process, which brought us so much comfort during a time when our minds and hearts were overwhelmed. Their communication was stellar and we always felt informed, supported and cared for. What truly stood out was how genuine everyone was. They treated our family with such dignity and understanding and it was clear that they truly care about the people they serve. We are incredibly grateful to the entire team at Smith Family Funeral & Cremation Services for guiding us through such a painful time with kindness, professionalism and compassion. Their support meant more to us than words can fully express.”

“Losing my Daddy was by far the worst day of my life. I had no idea where to go or who to call. My uncle made a few phone calls, and had mentioned how nice John was when they spoke. When I called he made sure I understood everything. They were so patient with me and absolutely phenomenal throughout all of this. When people ask me who handled my Daddy’s cremation, and I mention them, all I hear are good things. I don’t think my heart could handle anymore grief. I’ll forever recommend these fantastic people. I can’t thank them enough for everything.”
