“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

“Originally from Louisiana and come down at least once a year to see my family. Have found that many place that used to serve amazing food when I was growing up are either gone or are not so amazing any longer. Not Spahr's. They continue to not disappoint. Best meal we had on this trip. Everything we had was great but I was particularly fond of the Bread Pudding because they put raisins in it which most places do not do.”

“Spahr’s Downtown never disappoints. As someone originally from Thibodaux, stopping here is a requirement whenever I’m back in the area. I went with the classic catfish chips and fries, and of course, washed it all down with a Bloody Mary. No regrets at all—it was exactly what I needed. The food is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is spot on, and I even walked away with a new plastic cup to add to the collection. If you’re looking for the authentic taste of Lafourche Parish, this is the place to be.”
— Stephen Barrios
“Great service! I had the Crab Benedict with breakfast potatoes and my husband had a shrimp omelet with toast. Both of those meals were good. We also shared their beignets which were okay. They had too much powdered sugar and some didn't have filling in the inside. But other than that, everything else, including the service was great. We'd go back.”
