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.

“My family and I have used Roper and Sons Funeral Home twice. In 2014 we lost our mom and this year our dad. Both times we felt supported, cared for and heard. The staff at Roper is wonderful. They are knowledgeable and they take care of not only your funeral needs, but also explain each step of the process. The gentleman, who came to pick my dad up after his passing did so with so much care. Dean walked us through everything from Social Security to flowers to cremation service. Tony explained the cremation process. Leslie created a beautiful program. And Mary assisted with the reception. They have even checked in after the celebration of life to see how we are doing and offering an ear if needed. I would not hesitate to suggest Roper and Sons Funeral Home to anyone that has lost someone that they love dearly.”

“Shar and I had taken what I would consider the most important initial step of enlisting the help of Roper and Sons in the pre-planning of our funeral arrangements. The assistance given by Theresa of Roper and Sons was invaluable, as we had no idea of the process. All options and suggestions were laid out clearly and easily understood. Our wishes were carefully drafted and presented to us for review. At the time of my wife’s passing, we immediately met with Mark Roper to review and implement our wishes. Shar’s celebration of life was carried out flawlessly. And their care has not stopped at the completion of the celebration of life service. They have continued to stay in contact with me offering assistance during the difficult grieving process. Roper and Sons are well past 10 on a scale of 1-10. Rod Porath”

“Ropers led us through the process of putting my husband to his final resting place with compassion and grace. We had so many questions about processes and decisions, and we were always provided with solutions that met our needs and wishes. Tom and the rest of the staff were knowledgeable and efficient, and always compassionate.”
