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 family and I have the highest praise for everyone at Levine Chapels for the funeral of our mother. We began the pre-planning process about two years before she died. Glenn led us through that process, clearly explaining options and patiently answering our many questions. When our mother died, Tony reached out right away. He was comforting, told us what to expect and made very helpful recommendations regarding the arrangements. Then Olivia expertly and compassionately guided us through the days leading up to the funeral and ensured that everything went smoothly on the day of the funeral. Olivia is exceptional – a true professional, highly dedicated, organized, caring and supportive. She was also unflappable, quickly adjusting to our last-minute change in clergyperson. We were in great hands with Levine Chapels and are profoundly grateful.”
— Larry S
“This was the most difficult moment of my life. Julie Berg took such good care of us. Every detail was handled with utmost care and attention. At such a difficult moment, relying on the wisdom of funeral directors is extremely comforting. I am most happy that my husband received love and attention from everyone attending his funeral.”
— Karen Frostig
“Our funeral director (Julie) was empathetic, organized, and calming - qualities that made this difficult time in our life easier to bear. She was responsive to us in a very timely manner, and addressed every concern with professionalism and compassion.”
