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 so grateful for both Nydia and Tom helping us at such a difficult time. Thank you for everything.”
— Everyday above ground is a good day 1975
“Nydia and Tom were wonderful! Nydia handled my Dad's funeral and although very sad day the service exceeded our families expectations! My Dad would have been very pleased. Tom, handled the graveside service which again exceeded our expectations. He read some verses and a poem that was very meaningful. Our family felt our Dad's memory was honored as he deserved. Nydia has been very helpful and gave us information on steps to take after you've lost a loved one which we were grateful for. Could not imagine going anywhere else. Highly recommend!!”
— Conor Mullin
“Nydia, I cannot thank you enough for gentle care you showed my family, how you made yourself available and how you kept our thoughts straight when we simply could not think. You are wonderful at what you do and you do it with such a kind manner. The special touches that you add show what a caring and compassionate woman you are. Everyone of the Nowak staff showed complete professionalism and care. Thank you very, very much Nydia.”
