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 had a wonderful experience using Meiselwitz during a very tough time. My grandpa was diagnosed with Stage IV Cancer and passed very quickly. We did not have a plan in place so had to call Meiselwitz in the middle of the night for help. They came and were compassionate and helpful in getting everything in place. Brian was wonderful to work with and did a small prayer service for my Grandpa at the cemetary. Thank you from the bottom of our heart for making this easier on the family and Grandma.”

“I want to extend our appreciation to Mike and Brian for their patience with my mother’s funeral and all that went into it. It was a very hard time and without there support and dedication to our family during our time of mourning it would have been a lot harder on us. Thank you again Mike and Brian for being professional in this and helping us make proper arrangements. Zachary Christel”
