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.

Before they took him the young men turned around facing the wall while I was saying goodbye. So so respectful. Everyone was Absolutely amazing!! I thank and appreciate all that they did.”

“There is not enough words to describe how respectful, personable and thoughtful this funeral home is. They treat you and your loved ones like family. Austin was ahead of my father’s funeral and I can not say enough amazing stuff about him or the whole staff Kay has. They were very detailed, cost conscious and even threw in a few surprises that made me smile on such a sad day. If the event arises again I will not use anyone else. I thank them from the bottom of my heart for the care they showed me and family in such a hard time.”
