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.

“No one is ever ready to have to make arrangements or deal with a funeral home. However tge wonderful folks here at Lamb- Basham were amazing. They were patient and very helpful throughout the entire process. I got the privilege of working with Jerry, Ben and Samantha and all 3 were very accommodating and comforting during such an awful time. Thank so much to the 3 of you for everything.”

“My family recently used the services of Lamb Basham 's cremation services after the death of my sister. We were concerned about the cost due to her being on a very limited income. They were very understanding with this and worked with us on their prices. They were so caring through the whole process. They listened and answered every question respectfully. They made a difficult situation much easier for our family.”
