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.

“Our experience with Foston Funeral home was traumatic on top of just losing our Mother. I felt My mothers memorial was not what I expected, the celebration wasn't shown on that day and it felt more like an opportunity to make money. There were no pictures in her obituary, unlike my fathers obituary who past a couple of years before and the set up of videos or pictures were not shown. I would recommend to find another funeral home for your loved ones who will be financially honest, compassionate, rude-free and really sincere during your loss and grieving time. But to experience this with Foston Funeral home is hurtful and devastating. We are praying for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one.”
