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.

“I am so grateful for the compassion and professionalism shown throughout this difficult time. From start to finish, you guided me with care and understanding through a process I had never experienced before. Vince was incredibly kind and calming, offering support even while navigating his own loss. I never once felt taken advantage of, and the pricing was fair and reasonable—so different from other places that were twice as expensive. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making such a painful time less stressful.”

“Vince and the staff was there for me when my loved ones went to be with God. Back in January 2020 before Covid19 hit hard my father Deacon Robert Bouchum passed away. I entrusted the staff at Bigham Mortuary to take care of the funeral arrangements. Vince sat down with the family and I and we proofread the obituary making sure we didn't leave out anything. He helped us to pick out the best casket and flowers for the service. Everything was pleasing to us and it was truly a celebration of life. Then January of 2022 my only daughter and baby was killed, the first homicide of the year. This death destroyed my soul. Vince came to her residence to get her body but he thought of me and had some of our church members to block to where I couldn't see him bring her out. We again this time proceeded with the arrangements for my baby girl. The transition, visitation and the service was A1. I always refer Bigham Mortuary to anyone I know that has lost a loved one. They treat you like family, they're very professional and even when it's my home going I want Vince and the staff to take care of me and my family needs. They're not out to break the bank making a big profit off of you. They concentrate on your family's need with a smooth transition with professionalism, honesty and compassion. Thank you once again, Vince and the staff of Bigham Mortuary . Be blessed 🙌”
