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
“I have been absolutely astounded at the kindness and professionalism of City of Oaks. They have made the hardest time of my life - losing my father - so much easier with regard to everything that comes after. My father passed in home hospice, and the gentlemen who came to retrieve his body in the wee hours of the morning were dressed in suits and consummate professionals. They offered sincere condolences and were caring and efficient while still allowing me and my family all the time we needed to let go. They handled his body with respect and care and I am eternally grateful for the peace they brought to this part of the process. Our situation was unique because my father chose to donate his body to medical education and research at Duke. City of Oaks coordinated everything for me and the entire process was smooth and efficient. I have since emailed them approximately 10,000 questions, and each email has been answered quickly, with thorough and compassionate answers to everything I've thrown their way. To top it off? Their pricing is so fair and affordable, which is never the case when it comes to services for our lost loved ones. I would recommend them again and again without hesitation.”

“The process for cremation for my father was quick and easy process, super polite by the staff offering three condolences to my father. Price was personally below the average for cremation that I researched for other places in the rdu area at other funeral homes. Thanks for taking care of my father and making the process easy for my family!!!”
