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 want to extend a special thank you to Renee especially, and Morgan, Theresa, and Adam. All of the staff at HSK were very professional, but never cold or insensitive. They are compassionate, wildly detail-oriented and thoughtful, and it is evident that they care about and are passionate about what they do. We appreciated the small things they never overlooked, like printing address labels for our thank-you letters and sending a letter opener for letters we received. We talk often about how great our experience was. They prioritize respect and dignity of the deceased and continuously checked in with us throughout services to make sure everything was to our liking. What an amazing group of people. We are so glad we chose HSK. Thank you, Renee, Morgan, Theresa, and Adam!”
