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 am from out of town and wanted to attend a Church in Madison for Easter Sunday and we stop in for 10:30 service and the Church was beautiful and the pastor was very kind and not boring. A helper greeted us as soon as we walked in, and didn't even bat an eye to drop what she was doing and help us to the service. And the band that they have was nice.”

“Awesome WELS Luther chapel. Highly recommend. Everyone is very friendly and inviting. They have an excellent study area open to all students with free coffee and tea (you just have to buzz in at the front). They also have $3 dinners on Monday nights which are a great way to meet people. They worship at different times during the school year vs. the summer so be sure to check the website before heading over on Sunday.”
