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.

“Rayna and Doug did an excellent job with the memorial/burial for my dad, Dave Ford...aka The Jewel T Man. The entire staff at John Brown gave us peace and comfort with their professionalism and comforting words. Sorry for when their services are needed but they are the best. They've helped my family thru a couple generations now and there is nothing but good to say.”
— Jim Ford
“We recently used the John B. Brown Funeral Home for our beloved Uncle Donnie’s services, and we cannot say enough about the expert service we received. A special “thank-you”, to Doug Hallinan, for his kindness, and attention to detail, knowing that everything was being handled, really gave us comfort and peace. Pamela & Mitchell Steinman”
