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.

“Cindy Taylor was very professional, patient, compassionate and detailed. She helped my family during such a devastating time with so much grace. She guided us through the process and made us feel comfortable from the beginning to the very end. Thank you Ms. Cindy for going above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. Each staff member that I encountered with Bennie Smith Funeral Home was pleasant. I highly recommend them to prepare the body of your deceased loved one, you will not be disappointed! Great service! THANK YOU!”

“The staff here is always so friendly and helpful wouldn’t recommend no place better”

“To say that I'm beyond disappointed is an understatement. A dear friend of mine was to be buried by the state because he had no family. Bennie Smith was the funeral home that was in charge of the burial. The woman I spoke to about his burial assured me that they would let me know when the burial would be so that I could be there. I called to inquire about a date only to be told that they had already done it and never bothered to inform me. This is unacceptable.”
