“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.

“National Cremation Service took very good care of our family during this difficult time. Chris Turner was very helpful and went out of his way to answer all our questions and assist any way he could. Extremely pleased with National Cremation Service!”
— Karen Hooker
“Everyone, from the team that picked up my loved one's body to the pastor who steered us through the process of the death certificate and the cremation itself, was genuinely kind and professional.”
— Frank Dominguez
“My original contact fell through when my father passed before our scheduled appointment. While everyone was very kind, I wish I could've dealt with my original contact. Chris, while very nice, seemed extremely disorganized. After being told that he didn't need anything else from me, he'd call the next day asking for something else- repeatedly. I want to know everything that's needed now, not in dribbles. It made an emotional time very stressful. Btw- don't ever answer a business phone with a mouth full of food- it's extremely unprofessional!”
