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.

“Words cannot explain how grateful our family is to Ross Brende. Our fathers wish was to pass away at home and from the time of passing Ross was there at the house taking away dad gently and with such respect for our family at 1:30 am and then held our hands through the entire preparation process. Every time I text or emailed him he responded to our need or question within minutes. This is not just a business for him but rather a passion to assist families in the most difficult time of their lives. Our family would recommend Kahler-Brende to anyone who finds the difficult and emotional task of saying goodbye to a loved one. Ross you are amazing at what you do. Heartfelt thanks and gratitude from the Bob O’Brien family. ❤️🙏”

“Kahler-Brende is an absolutely amazing place to go for such a sad time in people's lives. They are so great at what they do and Ross Brende was absolutely incredible. He helped our family every step of the way and along with Mark Kahler turned a sad day into a beautiful memory . There aren't enough stars on this review to indicate how great they are.
