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.

“We live in Prospect and recently utilized Community Funeral Home for my mother’s services. They were a pleasure to work with. The funeral director, Joe, is knowledgeable and professional, while also being kind and empathetic. He was informative and transparently provided all options and costs upfront. When deciding on the services, Joe always let us take the lead in making choices that were in line with our budget. And he consistently reassured us that our choices would be perfect. Both the wake and funeral service went exactly as planned and our whole family was pleased with how they helped us honor and celebrate mom. We would highly recommend Community Funeral Home.”
