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
“Our private immediate family viewing before mom was cremated was such a peaceful time for our family. We saw her suffer with tremendous pain and the last time we were with her physical body we saw her beautiful and peaceful. That was a memory we all needed. Her memorial service was handled just as she wished by the outstanding staff. Thank you!”
— Carol McCullough
“It is hard to put into words your experience under the circumstances. All I would like to express at this time is that everyone we interacted with was kind, compassionate, understanding and helpful. I felt like our family was shown respect as well as our loved ones. We used Bean twice now and we are so appreciative of their care.”
— Jocelyn Tonkinson
“Our family was so very pleased at the care and comfort provided for us. The staff at Bean Funeral Home guided and helped us with such warmth and assisted us with every step along the way and Carolina was so caring and compassionate. They also provided us with many beautiful keepsakes to remember and cherish the memories of my Husband. In a time of heartbreak and sorrow, we felt very lucky to have them.”
