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.

“The place was caring, empathetic, and genuinely understanding of financial constraints. They even sponsored my grandfather's bowling team back in the 1960s — a reminder of how long they’ve been supporting families in the community. They deserve 6 stars. The end of life for a loved one is an incredibly difficult time, and throughout the process from start to finish, they treated us with compassion, patience, and respect. Their guidance made a heartbreaking experience a little easier to navigate, and I’m truly grateful for the dignity they brought to my loved one’s final arrangements. Highly recommended.”

“Thank you so much for your caring touch in regards to my father's funeral on 3 December. It meant a lot to me that not only did his wishes be honored, but also that he received great care in preparation for burial. I was pleased with his choice of rabbi, and how the funeral service went (including the livestreaming), the procession to the cemetery, and burial. Thank you so much.”
