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.

“I cannot say enough good things about Pendleton Pioneer Chapel! Losing a loved one is such a difficult obstacle in life, but Mike and his staff made it a very pleasant experience. Mike was delicate with his wording, extremely sympathetic and tenderly professional. I can’t thank them enough for taking such great care of my father.”
— Brianne McCann
“Our Mom/Grandma passed away Jan 2023. The staff at Pioneer chapel went above and beyond!! So very nice to work with and made us feel so much at home. Mom had most everything already planned and Mike helped us with the other things we needed to do. Everything came together like a charm from the first time we met till the last time at the gravesite and church service! Our hearts were very happy with everything!! I highly recommend Owner Mike and office manager Pam at Pioneer Chapel in Pendleton to all.”
— Moneta Woollard
