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.

“We are so grateful to Schoedinger Margarum Northeast Funeral Home for their compassion and professionalism during one of the most difficult times in our lives. They handled our mother’s services with such care, dignity, and attention to detail. A special thank you to Hailey, who helped us this time — her kindness, patience, and guidance meant more to our family than we can express. She truly made a difficult process feel manageable and supported. They also cared for our family beautifully when our father passed a few years ago, as well as with other members of our family. We deeply appreciate the consistent compassion and excellence they have shown us over the years.”
— Jeff May
“There simply are not enough words to express how wonderfully the staff treated our very large family during our Moms service last month. They absolutely were above and beyond anything we could’ve expected, the kindness and compassion were so genuine. Should you or your family members find yourself in a similar position where you are looking for “ The right place” to hold your family members final services you will never choose wrong with Schodingers.”
— Sharon Gonzales
“We had a wonderful experience with Schoedinger Margarum NE in the midst of difficult circumstances! The planning process was simple and not overwhelming like I had expected. Lauren was patient and explained everything in detail and then quickly answered my emails as I had questions arise. The staff at the service kept everything flowing smoothly and were very kind and supportive! I accidentally messed up my mom's lipstick and a gentleman drove all the way back to the funeral home to get the matching lipstick so it could be fixed. I appreciated that so much!! This is the second time we have used their services and I completely recommend them to anyone else in need!”
