Questions to Ask When You Call
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.

What Families Say
“My father passed away on a Thursday morning. The home hospice company had previously called Daniel J Hughes Funeral services as my mother wanted them to handle the services. When the hospice called to notify of his passing, Daniel was at our house within an hour. He took great care to handle the transfer of my father with dignity. We met with him that afternoon to make the arrangement and the process went very well. Daniel explained all options in detail and a difficult process was completed with ease. The funeral service was held two days later and my family was completely satisfied. I highly recommend Daniel J. Hughes Funeral Services.”
