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.

“Words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful and compassionate staff at Wake Funeral & Cremation Services. This was a very difficult time for my family with the loss of our father but Brad, Caitlyn and the entire Team were accommodating and supportive through the entire process. The gentleman that arrived at our home to transport my father were prompt and professional. The communication was exceptional and Caitlyn accommodated our requests to divide my father’s ashes for his children and grandchildren. We did the memorial service at their beautiful mausoleum which was organized and managed perfectly by Brad. Our experience was exceptional and I highly recommend partnering with Wake Funeral & Cremation Services.”
