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.

“Trader funeral home provided an excellent service for my father today. Tommy and Ross have worked with the Miller family numerous times in the past and this experience was no different. It was extremely comforting for us to see my father look so peaceful today. I can’t say enough good about Tommy and Ross Trader. Thank you so much for taking exceptional care of my father.”

“Limited parking, I had to park on the street and walk a ways to get in. The funeral home is rather small and looked dated. They only had one tiny restroom in the back that was underneath a stairwell, I had to lean over the entire time to use the urinal just to avoid hitting my head on the steps. The staff seemed to think that it was funny as they warned me to watch my head while in there. I'm only 6'1", I wasn't amused.”
