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.

“Our experience with Berry Highland South was comforting and amazing. I lost my husband and every detail from start to finish was provided with exceptional care. When someone loses a loved one it’s hard to face the challenges that are ahead of you but the staff helped guide me through the process. Even after the services were provided they continued to check on me. They truly care from start to finish and beyond. I wish I could provide more than 5 stars.”
