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
“West Gates was very organized and reliable in carrying out the funeral service. I was very pleased with my mother’s preparation for her burial.”
— Sylvia Bridges
“I could write a book on why you should choose West Gate Funeral Home to handle the passing of your loved one- but I will just highlight a few reasons why I am so thankful that I did. After my mom passed suddenly, my whole family was stunned and had we gone with another funeral home emotionally and financially we would have been worse off. James and the West Gate team went above and beyond for my family in planning a beautiful bluff-side memorial service with a balloon release and Ms. Cathy even sang the most beautiful solo during. You could tell that everything was arranged with love and consideration- down to even using green (my mom's favorite color) as the accent color. When I think back on my mom's passing- I still feel immensely broken but I always shed a few happy tears for the friends that feel like family that I made at West Gate!”
— Miranda Elaine
“The service we received was far beyond what we expected. It was outstanding. They were extremely professional, patient, kind, thoughtful and caring. I am so grateful for their excellence of service in planning and performance beginning to end. Thank you Westgate for everything you did to make the process much easier. Much love for you, the Ellis Family.”
— Estelle Ellis
