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.

“They were late to my grandfather’s graveside service despite multiple calls to verify time and place. Staff seemed disorganized when they did arrive. This was my second experience with this funeral home, the first of which was last year at my grandmother’s service. The experience was unfortunately similar, but magnified since we were at the chapel - e.g. lack of direction for family and guests, multiple technical errors, etc. Overall I do not feel that my loved ones were given the dignity they deserved.”

“Barry & Joey Williams and staff recently provided excellent services during the passing of a family member. The pre-arrangement plans were followed completely. The staff was most helpful and professional. The visitation, funeral, and burial arrangements could not have been better. Well done!”
— William Valentine
“This is the best funeral home in the Muscle Shoals area. Mr. Barry Williams is one of the kindest, most sincere, and sweetest man I've ever met. He works very hard to make his funeral home a comfortable and inviting place for everyone who walks through his doors. The costumer service is unmatched. As someone who is trying to become a mortician myself, I deeply appreciate all the little things Mr. Williams does to make his funeral home the best. To anyone who is in need of these services durring one of the hardest times in their lives, I highly recommend this home. You will not be disappointed.”
