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.

“Fulton-Theroux Funeral Service (Old Lyme) did a fantastic job in setting up a memorial service for my wife. The staff were helpful and friendly. Examples of attention to details: the guest book, a large framed portray (16”x20”), a stack of thank-you notes, a large LED TV monitor for slide shows, etc. We are very pleased with everything they have done for us.”
— Julian Lo
“Fulton-Theroux made a really hard time much more manageable, with care and comfort. Nick was amazing to work with, and helped us out with many last-minute requests. He is so knowledgeable, kind, and we never felt pressured. He has so many contacts and flexible ways to accomplish what we needed to accomplish in a short amount of time. I’m so glad we chose them and would recommend them to anyone.”
