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
“My Father-in-Law suddenly passed away last week and my Mother-in-Law was in shock after the loss. We initially went to Busch just to talk with Jeff and discuss packages options. Jeff was amazing at showing empathy to where my Mother-in-Law was as at emotionally. He was so kind and made us feel welcomed and comfortable in this difficult situation. We just had the showing and memorial for my Father-in-Law yesterday and it was perfect. Jeff and the team made sure every detail was handled and it was such a beautiful experience. They went above and beyond to make the memorial as special as possible. I can’t explain how thankful I am to Jeff and his team for everything they have done for our family. The team in Elyria is outstanding!!”

“My fathers passing was completely unexpected and right before Christmas. I was lost, i had no idea where to start. My dad always said if anything happen to him this was the funeral home he wanted. That was all the information i needed, i was in no shape to make decisions or talk to anyone, they agreed to work with my boyfriend which was awesome. They also helped us litteraly every step of the way, answering text, calls , emails at any hour. They truly made a horrible unexpected tragedy, not as horrible going forward. My father could not have picked better people to help me through this. This staff is so much more than just a funeral staff. Thank you again for everything.”

“The Team at Busch Funeral Home in Elyria went out of their way to make our family comfortable with the choices we were making for our mother's services. Jeff Hogan and his team are kind, considerate of the situation, and are willing to share their experiences and advice to ensure everyone understands what is happening, how others have done things, and ensuring you are recognizing the passing of your loved one in a manner that best fits your needs and the needs of the family. From the pre-planning of the services, to the many questions we asked over and over, to just checking in on each of us to ensure we were ok - we could not have asked for better support. The connections that the team has in the area also was very valuable to us. They were not after over selling us anything we didn't need. Each and every person we came into contact with always stated that they try to put themselves in the shoes of the family, ensuring that the needs of the family are being meet. Thank you Busch team - for providing my mother with a home sending that was just right for her and our family. Thank you!!!! - Mazell Scarbrough's family.”
