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.

“My fiancé and his mom have sent me so many beautiful arrangements from Gibney’s the last few years. The flowers last for WEEKS if taken care of properly! The colors and variety are always so gorgeous. I’m incredibly impressed, especially with my 30th birthday flower bouquet “cake”!!! Shoutout to Jess!”

“I ordered a standing funeral spray and was beyond pleased! It was absolutely beautiful—truly exceeded my expectations. The lady I spoke with when placing the order was so kind, friendly, and helpful. I asked for shades of pink, white, and greenery in the designer’s choice, and it turned out perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for a more lovely arrangement. Highly recommend!”
