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.

“Pet services: These folks are amazing. We had to deal with the sudden loss of our beloved German Shepherd several years ago on a holiday weekend. I had no idea what to do or where to go. They were so compassionate and generous. They understand your pet is your family. I've recommended Southlawn to everyone I've known who's had to deal with such a loss. Thank you!”
— Jennifer Eby
“Some of the most amazing people I have ever met. I have had to unfortunately visit them after the passing of animals and I can't say enough about each and every person that works there. Every day they are dealing with someone that lost a pet and yet the professionalism and sincerity cannot go unnoticed. Bless you all!!!!”
— Brent Barnhart
