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

“Beautiful, well manicured grounds. The building recently underwent a restoration, so the Abbey itself is gorgeous as well. Kind and organized staff helped to make the memorial as easy as possible on the family. I highly recommend the Princeton Abbey for those seeking a place to lay their loved ones to rest.”
— Meredith Totten
“30 years ago this was a fantastic high school for young men to receive a great education. Due to funding and desire for those young men to become priests the school eventually shut down in the early nineties. If you get the opportunity to visit and see if the landscape and the buildings you will not be disappointed. I have not been there in years but I still hold it dear to my heart. St Joe's made me the man I am today.”

“This week I attended a networking event here. Although the signage was spotty and the parking was scattered, the architecture and scenery made up for it. I would definitely recommend having an event here so long as there is good signage and valet parking.”
