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.

“They went and removed flowers and everything that was on my mother's grave without notifying me they were going to do so. Fall flowers had just been put there not long before. She had an angel statue on her headstone and they took that as well. I went to put Christmas flowers out just to find EVERYTHING was gone. Not just from my mother's grave but from everyone's. I was so upset I thought I was going to have a heart attack. My mother has been there for almost 5 years and they had never done that before so why now and why without notice? I looked up cemetery rules and we and other people were not breaking the rules so why do this disrespectful thing? They threw away things that was special to my mother from people that loved her that can't be replace. Her stuff was not all over the place just on her headstone. A very heartless act. I can't believe they did that and I don't understand why they would.”

“We had a simple graveside service for my mother. There was no tent set up at the grave. It was mid July at 11 o’clock in the morning and 90 degrees. They wanted us to have the service in the mausoleum shelter across the cemetery from the grave site after we had specified otherwise.”

“My Father and Grandparents are laid to rest here and I was very impressed with the upkeep of the grounds.”
