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
“We contacted Heritage Cremation Society after the sudden and tragic loss of my mother in law. Everyone, and especially Beverly, Dean, and Helen were wonderful to work with. They were very patient, answered all of our questions, and were very thorough with providing information. We also had a private goodbye and she looked absolutely beautiful. Thank you for guiding our family through a very difficult time.”
— Tee Versele
“Let's be honest.. no one WANTS to use this service, but you'll be glad you chose Heritage. They were so kind and patient with me as I navigated my mother's untimely passing on my own. I had set up a life insurance policy ahead of time, knowing that my mother's dementia would eventually claim her life, and Heritage handled everything else after that. All forms and such were able to be done online via email and afterwards the delivered mom's remains and the urm I chose to my home. I'd like to say a special thanks to Amy who was so kind and understanding to all my questions and forgotten things. She was always there with a kind reply and an easy way to help fix somethingmy scattered brain had overlooked. Thank you for making an awful time a little less scary. I cannot recommend Heritage enough.”
— Sam
“My husband recently passed away. I can't say enough about Heritage. They are kind and compassionate. They helped make a really bad situation a little bit better. Losing a spouse is hard. I'm also handicapped. They came to my home so I could sign the paperwork, all to make it easier since I'm disabled. I appreciate all of you. I hope to not need this service again, but if I do, I will return. Thank you so much for your empathy and compassion to me in this horrible and unexpected situation. 💜 I also appreciate that they took his fingerprints. I ordered the most adorable teddy bear with my husband's fingerprint on a charm around the bears neck. I hug my bear when I'm crying, and I feel closer to him. It's amazing the things they can do today to give a part of your loved one back to you. It's so important. And the price is the most reasonable out of everyone. You get the same service you'd get anywhere else, honestly, maybe even better, and at a price you can afford. Thank you so much!”
