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.

“We've been using them for the last 38 years (starting with my grandpa) and now I'm only 38 and partner is 43, but getting ahead of the game. Sharea Major is absolutely helpful and always willing to listen. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, comfortable, and makes you feel like family. Thank you Vista Verde family! ❤️”

“I am beyond furious at finding the bouquet of flowers that I spent tons of time putting together for my daughter's 15th birthday gone. Just trashed, when I purposely buy fake flowers so that they can last there longer. Do not ever leave your loved one here because they do not and cannot seem to have any form of respect for even leaving flowers at their grave. I'm FURIOUS and will tell everyone not to use this place. Who do you think you are to remove what people put out after barely any time passing. Furious!!!”

“Horrible service, staff is incompetent, they refuse to take responsibility for their mistakes. Refused to provide deed paperwork for paid in full plots. Their mower damaged my grandfathers headstone and tried to blame it on us putting flowers there. There needs to be a staff overhaul or management change. Staff has also lost payments, thankfully receipts were requested and kept on my mom's part. It's sad that they run this place the way they do because there are not too many options.”
