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

“On one of the hardest days was losing my grandfather And not getting to be by my family’s side during those first few days but Heather instantly became someone I trusted. Even though I was in California I was able to communicate with her until I got there and during those few days she was the biggest support system for my grandmother and my mother. She was so compassionate and worked so hard to make sure everything we wanted was perfectly executed. Even though she didn’t know my grandfather she listened and learned about his life and wanted to make sure my grandfather was honored the way any military man should be. I honestly don’t know if we would have made it through all of it without her. Her kindness, empathy, and warm heartedness helped us through it all. During that time she wasn’t just a staff member doing her job she felt like family. I am forever grateful for Heather and highly recommend asking for her! You will be supported during your difficult time and that’s so important. Thank you Heather from the bottom of my heart!”

“When my wife Shirley died we settled on Animal family funeral home. We were told how good they were. We are 100% pleased with them. They worked with the insurance for the Funeral payment. They were very professional very cordial. Very understanding they met every request we had and helped us plan the funeral. It was a beautiful service couldn’t ask for a better bunch of people to work with. Before during and after the funeral, they helped us in many ways we use them again. God bless them.”
