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
“This Funeral Home has very friendly, helpful, and professional staff. They are also the most affordable out of the Funeral Homes in the area. They made everything beautiful and smooth. I highly recommend them.”
— Christine Machuca
“We worked with Pape for my grandfather's service 12 years ago and now my grandmothers service. I am very pleased with everything. My grandmas service was paid for years ago and Dave still had everything we needed on file and made it a very simplified process. He's very direct but empathetic. The service was beautiful and I really appreciated his hairdresser making my grandmas hair look stunning one last time. She had not had it done in years and I know she was looking down smiling about that. Dave was very communicative and helpful. Could not ask for more in such a difficult time. Thanks again!”
— Kelly McReynolds
“We have laid several family members to rest with Pape's Funeral Home and always had a great experience. I recently had services for my mother there and it was a very positive experience during a time of great loss. Brian the funeral home director is great to work with and overall seems like a great family run business, highly recommend! Thank you Pape's”
