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.

“Allen Summerhill is absolutely amazing and has equally amazing staff. When working to set up an unplanned funeral, Alexis is extremely responsive and empathetic to our situation, over communicating with all our needs. Noble, the celebrant, was also phenomenal. He came over and got to know our lost loved one through us, and took great care in his speech for him. What is truly impressive; there was not a single moment where they looked to maximize revenue through a grieving family. No up-selling, no pushing unnecessary products or services. They simply asked our wants and needs, told us the price, and accommodated. I am so thrilled we found them. They are a blessing to me and my family during this dark time. Thank you Alexis, Noble, & Allen Summerhill.”
