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.

“Mr. Mizner is truly the kindest soul. This is not just a job to him. It is his calling. When our infant daughter passed away he came to our house to discuss the process with us. He answered every question we had and took care of everything. He was compassionate and a shining light during the darkest time in our lives. I cannot recommend Mizner Funeral Home enough. Truly. Thank you Mr. Mizner and staff. We're forever grateful.”

“I wouldn't trust any other place to take care of my brother. They always go above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible while you are grieving. They stayed late to help me and my family order fingerprint jewelry. They sealed some of his hair in a locket. And they went to pick him up from a different state. They even came to our house to discuss arrangements. Mr. & Mrs. Mizner are extremely kind and professional. Again, I would not trust any other place to take care of my loved one as well as they do. Forever grateful.”

“What an incredible experience we had with Stephen Mizner. He was 100% professional, thoughtful, knowledgeable, respectful and patient. He showed up at 11:00 pm on a Saturday night in full suit and tie. His demeanor was so very kind and amazingly helpful with things we didn’t even know that we needed. The Hospice Nurse literally took notes on what he told us so she could be better prepared to help others in the future. Thank you Stephen for making a difficult time so much better by being there with us.”
