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.

“I went through Price Helton Funeral twice as my parents set their funeral arrangements with them. The first time was for my father and the employee very helpful and considerate in going through the funeral plans. The employee was very helpful and gave us time to go through the arrangements and she also communicated with everyone that needed to be contacted. The second time we went through this funeral place did not turn out as pleasant. This person was being trained and didn't seem to know what she was suppose to do. The person we had worked with before was not available for my mother's arrangements and there was limited staff at that time. I would recommend going through Price Helton Funeral Home. Just make sure you work with someone who has the experience.”
— Jean Elliott
“From start to finish during the difficult process of saying goodbye to our mother, the entire staff treated us with care and handled everything we needed to be done. Truly blessed to have had them work with us. Thank you!”
