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.

“I would not recommend evergreen memorial chapel after a loved one’s passing. The entire experience was very impersonal and rushed. We had let the funeral home know prior to arrival that we had wanted to have a final viewing with my brother so that the family could say goodbye, Doug, the staff member we were working with, was late to the meeting time that he set for us, and did not have anything ready once he arrived. Doug then proceeded to tell us that he had several of “these” a day and that we would have to come back for a viewing later once he had time to get things ready, “these” being people that had passed. I understand that evergreen is a business, but you think the staff would have a little bit more compassion for the heartbreaking situation that their customers are in. So unless you want to be rushed through your grieving process with un compassionate staff member, I would look elsewhere.”
