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.

“My stepfather passed away very abruptly with no warning and left my family extremely distraught, confused, and disheveled. My partner was kind enough to help me call mortuaries after his passing and it was honestly such an overwhelming experience- finding a place that was easy to get to for friends and family, good price, and people at the mortuary who made us feel like more than just a customer. When we came across Aztlan, we were extremely impressed with them, their compassion, and their ability to talk us through what their services would entail. Oscar did a great job taking care of us and in the end, my stepdad got a lovely memorial and military burial. A family friend actually used their services as well shortly after when his mother passed due to how highly we spoke of Aztlan. I would highly recommend them.”

“My experience with Aztlan Mortuary was okay. When I first contacted them via phone they were good, kind, and showed empathy. When I walked in the office they were a bit cold. I felt rushed with Oscar doing the paperwork. When I came back to pick up the ashes, I felt the same. Not sure if I will use them again.”

“From the first contact the staff at Aztlan Mortuary was very caring and professional. They guided me through the process for my husband. Their facility is beautiful and spotless. They provided a beautiful service with military honors and a wonderful priest who gave a memorable sermon. I am beyond satisfied with this company. I am proud my husband was treated with great care and respect by them. Don't bother calling anyone else.”
