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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“This was our first funeral planning experience, and we had the added component of having to deal with two funeral homes, and transporting a body from another state. Mathews was absolutely wonderful in their attention to detail, level of professionalism, and working with excellence. Hill Mackey was our first contact at Mathews. He was kind and compassionate and walked us through every step. We held the visitation and service at Mathews Chapel, and every single employee was wonderful. Ross, Kacy, Mike, Matt, Gary, Sydney…. Thank you so very much for your help. You work with excellence, and we were beyond pleased with the dignity of the entire funeral process.”
— Karen Toholsky
“As a Pastor, I have had the opportunity to deal with several different Funeral Homes across Georgia and Florida, but I can state with certainty that these folks are the most caring and professional team of experts. They went above and beyond mine and the family’s expectations. I fell in love with Gary and the crew and highly recommend them in your time of need.”
— Barry Marshall
“Mathews was nothing but professional and helpful in dealing with the loss of my mother. They took care of absolutely everything over the phone and mailed my mother's remains to the family who are currently unable to drive that far. I highly recommend them.”
— Ed Dwiggins
