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.

“Borthwick Kauai Mortuary is the best. The Ohana at Borthwick provided amazing compassion and care while dealing with my father’s passing and his aftercare process. Not only did they fulfill every single one of my father’s last wishes but Tricia was so patient; understanding; and thorough with me during every step. I am so thankful for the love and aloha they provided us as we said goodbye to my father who spent his life on Kauai. The whole team went above and beyond for me and my family during the hardest time of my life and I could never thank them enough. Even after the process was complete they called me to follow-up. They are so dedicated to what they do and it shows in every step. Thank you for all you do and have done for us; Aloha Pelena”

“Our experience with Borthwick mortuary was nothing short of amazing. My mother was on hospice and I had spoken with Lisa prior to her passing to get information and she was so nice over the phone and then I went in and met her in person and she had such a warm and caring presence that made me feel so comfortable. Dealing with a loved ones passing is never easy but Lisa made the experience very easy and was very caring and kind through the whole process. I am beyond thankful for her kindness and would recommend her and the Borthwick team to anyone who needs their services!”
