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.

“I can not say enough for Harry McKneely Funeral Home. They came right away to our home. Respectfully gathered our loved one. Kat was AMAZING!! She understood how to guide you through everything very effortlessly! She met EVERY need I had. She was compassionate and knew exactly what and how to handle everything, before I knew I needed it done!! I would highly suggest this funeral home. One thing I felt really good about is that they did not have to send your loved one somewhere else for cremation. Kat was with our loved one throughout the whole process. The fact that they did the whole process right there, on-site, and didn't have to take your loved one somewhere else for cremation is huge! You do NOT have to concern yourself IF you received someone else's remains! I feel comfort knows I received the correct ashes! It gives you a sense of peace during a difficult time. They will be the first call IF I need them in the future, and I highly recommend them to anybody during their time of need. I know several other people who have used them over the past 20+ year's also!”
