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.

“Marianne handled our father's funeral arrangements exceptionally well. She was called upon during a challenging time for our family, with only days to organize everything, yet she managed it effortlessly. Taking full control, she arranged and set everything up on a Saturday afternoon. We have attended many funerals, but have never witnessed such outstanding arrangements and setup. Marianne introduced a wonderful idea by incorporating our father's personal items into the arrangement. It was truly beautiful, and we are grateful to Marianne as we could not have done it without her. Our family sincerely appreciates your help. Thank you, and may God bless you!”
