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.

“We worked with this funeral home for two of my grandparents. They were considerate, caring and helpful in guiding us through each step of the process. The staff was very kind. We needed assistance with transporting ashes out of the country for burial, and they were able to help sort this out as well. Highly recommend.”
— Tristan Ruml
“Our family cannot thank Kate Maher and the entire team at Henderson - Van Atta - Stickle enough for the care and compassion they showed us during the cremation process for our mother. From the moment we walked through the doors, Kate made us feel supported and comforted during an incredibly emotional time. Kate was patient, understanding, and attentive to every detail. She walked us through the entire process with professionalism and genuine kindness, making sure all of our questions were answered and our wishes were honored. Her empathy and thoughtful approach helped ease our burden, and we truly felt like she cared about our family as much as we did. The facility itself was peaceful and welcoming, and every interaction we had with the staff reflected the same high standard of care that Kate provided. It’s rare to meet someone who can bring both warmth and professionalism to such a delicate situation, but Kate did just that. If you’re looking for a funeral home that will treat your loved one with dignity and provide your family with the support you need, I cannot recommend Henderson - Van Atta - Stickle and Kate Maher enough. They truly go above and beyond to make a difficult time just a little easier. Thank you, Kate, for everything. You made a lasting impression on our hearts.”
