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.

“This business DOESN'T deserve no stars at all. My family and I felt that we got rushed through everything from beginning to the very end and they NEVER order us a minister for our small closing prayer service or anything at the end. They are very heartless and money hungry brats, they dont care about anything. I make darn sure that no one will ever come to you for as long as I can talk and breath.”

“I have had two family members taken care of in their death by Mitchell Wiedefeld. We have had the pleasure of working with Steven East both times. He was kind, efficient and understanding and went the extra mile for us as we came from out of town and had a limited time and money. He gave both of our senior family members his expert care and attention. Thank you Steven East.”
— Carol Eastman
“Unfortunate circumstances led to a two day visit. The team was friendly and helpful throughout, and attention to detail was exceptional. Sometimes it’s the little things that matter… making an effort to ensure close family got pole positions for the drive to the cemetery and picking a route that emphasized low traffic and minimal lane changes made a difficult day a lot easier to navigate. Clear and empathetic communication throughout. Unpleasant circumstances, excellent logistics and service.”
