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.

“Since the mask mandates have been lifted practically everywhere, I didn’t bring one. I was turned away and luckily ( but Unluckily) was given a dirty used mask by someone ( which is worse than none) to add insult to injury, when I walked it it slipped ever so slightly, but not even low enough for my nostrils to be exposed and I was immediately reprimanded!! Remind you, I am attending a FUNERAL service and MOURNING. Not classy at all. As if the mask falling to the top of my nose was going to endanger anyone? Also, there were others with it way below their nose, so it was used as a way to be critical to whomever the woman chose to. It is obviously political. Interestingly enough my husband and I were just discussing planning arrangements… we know where we won’t be going!”
