Questions to Ask When You Call
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.

What Families Say
“I can’t say enough positive things about my experience at Westcott funeral home! Their professionalism and caring were what first stood out to me. But what really impressed me was how they customized my brother’s funeral to him and really listened and understood us to honor his memory. They truly went above and beyond. I am just so grateful. I do want to mention in case it helps anyone deciding to know, that we went somewhere else first, but had a difficult experience and felt totally disregarded so we were especially grateful for the wonderful experience we had after we switched.”
— Annie Drennan
“Taylor was so kind and compassionate. She allowed us to tell our story, listening intently and responding with compassion and grace. She was very accommodating and helpful since we needed to coordinate with an out-of-state funeral home. We left her office feeling cared for and trusting that our loved one was in the best care possible.”
— Cindy Fennig
“I used both Westcott in Cottonwood and Greer's in Sedona for support after the death of my wife. Different facilitators, and each group was extremely helpful when trying to navigate my way back to solid ground. I recently finished a 4-week group with Alicia at Westcott in Cottonwood. She was more than supportive, giving space to speak or not. Alicia is very focused on each member of her group, and we all needed different levels of support at different times. She made that happen and we are ready to face the holidays with hope. Meeting you right where you are is such a comfort and she does it with ease. Many thanks to Taylor for opening up this level of support. It may seem odd to meet at a mortuary, and it kind of is. That said, we're around a table in a meeting room and it isn't as difficult as I thought it would be. If you are looking for a lifeline, or validation, or just a group that you can be honest with, look no further.”
