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.

“Stacey was truly wonderful during an incredibly difficult time. She was patient yet efficient, and we could genuinely feel how much she cared. Stacey involved us in the cremation process in a way that felt deeply personal and meaningful, which brought us a great deal of comfort. The staff at Alleva was also so thoughtful with our children. They had a space where they felt comfortable, included, and occupied with various games and hot chocolate, which allowed us to focus on what mattered most without added stress. Her compassion, warmth, and attention to detail made all the difference. We are profoundly grateful for Stacey and highly recommend her.”

“Alleva Funeral home has cared for all my family. We recently lost my Mom (Dottie, 94 years young) and once again the Alleva family handled everything spot on. Stacey & Gary did an awesome job and we had nothing but compliments on how nice things went. Steve Alleva has continued to service Paoli and the main line like no other. Thanks again to you and your staff Steve.”
— Chuck Hawley
