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 have worked with Alex on my father and grandfather's monument for the last year. Alex is truly phenomenal to work with! He is the most patient person to work with and he is truly kind. I have made many, many changes to the design of the monuments and Alex was always very helpful in making sure that it was exactly how I had envisioned it. He has a great attention to detail and has kindly corrected the errors for me. He is very upfront about the timelines so that it is no surprise to you. Alex has made my experience wonderful and I would highly recommend using them for your monument needs!”

“Alex was very helpful. We wanted the same stone as a previous family memorial stone. It was unavailable but he found a substitute that looks the same. The memorial stone looks wonderful. Thank you Alex!”
