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.
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 recently had the difficult task of arranging a funeral for my brother. After researching and comparing several funeral homes, we chose Glenwood Funeral Home due to their affordability and newly renovated facilities, including updated bathrooms and flooring. The new owner, John Tswv Nyiaj, was incredibly attentive, flexible, and responsive, making the entire process much smoother than I expected. His compassion and professionalism were greatly appreciated during a challenging time. While I hope no one has to go through this experience, I highly recommend John Tswv Nyiaj and Glenwood Funeral Home to anyone in need of their services. They provided us with dignity, respect, and support during a difficult time.”

“The funeral itself is a good size at its price. I believe its one of the cheapest funeral home to rent for the weekend, considering us Hmong people usually have a 3day session. Anything the owner said voluntarily i wouldnt consider it. Now if its a service that is included with the rental, then I expect it. Over all its very spacious with a couple bathroom stalls. I give credit to whomever the caretaker is. One of my friends used to be the caretaker here and the owner is not the best person to be working for. Then again the owner was a decent person.”

“It was big enough, though the owners/managers didn't help with the planning. Like they rented it out for the weekend and left! Luckily grandma was surrounded by love.”
