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
“We are incredibly grateful to Starkson Family Life Celebration Chapel for the kindness and compassion they showed our family as we planned my sister's funeral. From the very beginning, Aaron was amazing. He gently guided us through every step of the decision-making process with patience, clarity, and care. We are a large family, and throughout the entire experience, we truly felt that everyone was heard. Aaron took the time to listen to our stories, our ideas, and our concerns. It felt as though he genuinely wanted to know my sister, who she was, what mattered to her, and how we could best honor her life. He paid attention to every detail, was always responsive to our questions, helped us create a service that was uniquely and beautifully hers. When the day of the funeral arrived, all we had to do was show up. Everything else was thoughtfully and seamlessly taken care of. It was a hard day for us, and they made it so much more bearable with their professionalism, warmth, and care. We will always be thankful for the support they gave our family during such a difficult time. The Family of Lois Arends”

“Our mother passed away unexpectedly and we found the care and time taken by the Starkson staff to help us navigate this process was stellar. We appreciated the ease of making her arrangements, the thorough communication and the thoughtful details that helped us afterwards: creating the video and giving us a thumb drive, printed labels for thank you cards, home delivery of the flowers after the service. We appreciated those extra touches that most people don’t think about in the moment and can add unnecessary stress. Our experience was one of comfort during a difficult time in our family. We are thankful for their service and dedication to families.”
