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
“At the expense of my own health, I was my sister Kathy's sole caregiver for the last 25 years of her life. When she passed away, graveside service arrangements were made, and being unable to drive, I was denied transportation to services. A video was made, but it is very difficult to watch certain relatives there who had no involvement in Kathy's caregiving.”
— Jeff Stalnaker
“Gorman-Scharpf Funeral Home is a professional, caring, and honest organization that has served our family following the passing of both my husband and our son. They go above and beyond to ensure that each desired detail of the service is completed to perfection. I highly recommend Gorman-Scharpf.”
— Beverly Wood
“The loss of my mom was sudden and unexpected, and we had no idea where to start looking at funeral homes. I'm so greatful that we decided to use Gorman-Scharpf. They were so helpful, supportive, and amazing people to work with. Andy, the funeral director who helped us, was great and I know God pointed us in the right direction for our mom's services. Thank you SO much for everything, you all did an amazing job.”
