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 want to let everyone know about Lakeside Funeral Home tucked away off Prien Lake Rd in Lake Charles, LA. Kyle was so easy to talk to especially when making arrangements for our dad. He checked on us during the visitation and Kyle was very patient with our needy family with every single question. The price of arrangements were half the amount we paid for my mom’s service at a different funeral home. It was so beautiful inside and peaceful creating a very comforting space to celebrate our dad. Thanks so very very much for everything you did to make a difficult time very comfortable.”
— Kissney Traub
“Mr. Ardoin and his team are extremely knowledgeable and caring. They took the utmost care of my mother. The facility is beautiful, immaculate, and comfortable. The process was as smooth as possible and his knowledge and candor was certainly appreciated. I strongly recommend them. Jason”
— Jason Martinez
“Kyle was the most professional and easy to work with. The staff provided a home filled environment and assisted us in fulfilling our mothers wishes. My mother would have been proud with the way everything was set up and the video was exceptional. Special thanks for the catering and the flowers were beyond reproach. Thank You for a lasting memory!”
