“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.

“Wow, I never thought I’d be raving about a funeral home. This was my first experience planning a funeral, and when I say Martin & Castille led us every step of the way, I cannot overstate it. Funeral arrangements are a LOT - so many decisions at a very fresh time of grieving and exhaustion for the whole family. Joshua was our Funeral Director for arrangements, and he had a perfect blend of knowledge, compassion, and organization throughout the whole process. He provided information on the grieving process, and then Jodi even followed up a month later to see how we were doing. No one wants to go through this, but I would 100% recommend Martin & Castille to go through it with.”

“Martin and Castille was my first choice for the unexpected death of my brother. I have worked with the M and C team in the past for funeral services within my work family. Their professionalism and dedication to make a difficult time for a family is unmatched. They have a keen eye for details that make the service seamless for the family. They embrace the uniqueness of each family and help them to bring the essence of their loved one into the service. Our service included traveling from funeral home to cemetery located past Baton Rouge. They were well prepared and had all the necessary arrangements made for this trip. The delivery of all items left at funeral home to our residence was handled with care. Our family was in good hands during a very difficult time. I also had a eulogy and was in need of organizing and put on a tablet for me to read. Josh was amazing and able to take my notes, organize them, have it on his tablet and prepared for me. He truly took stress off of me and I was able to spend time with loved ones. Again. Just above and beyond. The team we had from beginning to end made the task of making the arrangements and it’s experience something we can look back on and have peace at heart with. Thank you”
