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
“Chris and everyone at Brookside have been amazing to me. My youngest son passed away on December 18th 2025 and I didn’t know what to do because I wasn’t prepared and Chris made it easy for me to understand everything. They were all kind during this time of mourning. And I am having to use them again today because of my mother who passed away on the 4th of March this year. I would have completely been lost without them.. Thank you all Chris and everyone at Brookside Funeral Home.”
