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
“Above and beyond is the what you can expect from Leavitt services and staff. At pre planning Eric met our mother and her beloved husband. He had everything in order when her husband passed suddenly and unexpectedly. His kindness and compassion was evident in everything he said and did. When our mom got sick, we turned to Eric again, he became like a counselor to us as we navigated her care as she passed. He and Brayden were so respectful and thorough with the final details as they implemented her final wishes for her Celebration of Life ceremony. The support staff kept us up to date with clear and detailed communication from start to finish. We will absolutely continue with Leavitt’s for ourselves and recommend them for our friends and family.”
— LeAnn Bates
