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.

“John Beck and his staff were amazing to work with— kind, respectful, thorough, and felt like family. The funeral home in Highland was spacious and very classy!! My mother looked beautiful and John presented her in the manner in which we requested. In our most vulnerable moments, John Beck was there…and we will forever be grateful!!”

“The large space at the Highland funeral home was beautiful. John, Charlie, and the rest of the staff at Torsone's were incredibly helpful and accommodating as we planned everything through to the last second — especially as our service was slightly unorthodox, they were more than happy to work with us to make it run as smoothly as possible, supporting us to put on exactly the kind of event we'd hoped for. Thanks all!”
— Oshan Jarow
“I was treated with caring and respect during arrangements for my beloved son. It was not the first funeral arrangement I ever made, but it was definitely the best. John was knowledgeable and capable. You can rest assured you're loved one will be well taken care of. Highly recommend v”
