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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 staff here are fantastic, truly people who make a tough time more bearable. They were transparent, courteous, compassionate and respectful. They were accommodating and kept me up to date with my mother's pickup, cremation and when she was returned to us. I cannot recommend them highly enough, Mr. Phil truly was a blessing to us when my mother passed. I have no doubt she was treated with dignity and respect. Their compassion and empathy shine through in their work.”
