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
“During the process of helping me handle my wife's funeral arrangements, Jeff was incredibly compassionate, guiding me through each step with great ease and professionalism. We have some language barrier, Jeff has been explaining things very patiently. I am especially grateful that they restored my wife's appearance so beautifully, making her look as if she were simply sleeping. The entire user experience, from beginning to end, was excellent. Thank you so much, and best regards to your compassion and professionalism !”
— Ning Ji
“We were lucky that my In-Laws had picked Hays Funeral home years ago when they were planning, because that gave us the opportunity to work with Jeff and Rachel Koopman when my wife's dad passed away recently. Throughout the entire process, Jeff was there to help us put together a memorial service that our dad would have wanted. Jeff exceeded our expectations, and gave us a beautiful service to honor the life of a good man. We are very grateful for the help and support from Hays and couldn't have asked for more.”
— Steve Miller
“Jeff and Rachael helped us celebrate my mom’s life in the most thoughtful way. They honored her memory as the kind and giving person she was, with compassion and care in every detail. Jeff went above and beyond to make sure everything was right. We are so grateful for the comfort and support they gave our family.”
