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
“Nice inside. Very small area inside, though. Front of entrance has a nice size area to take photos if you would like to. There are other businesses surrounding this place but very pleasant visit our family had there recently.”
— Cheri L. Estrada
“Cannot speak more highly of the professionalism, conscientiousness, and compassion of N. County Cremation Services. Ken and Alma are absolutely terrific. Excellent communication and as good as their word. Losing a loved one and having to make their final arrangements is an incredibly difficult thing to navigate, and we were very fortunate to come across N. County Cremation Services after calling pretty much every cremation service provider in the area. If you are looking for a direct cremation service, I cannot imagine a better service provider than them.”
— Jim Ko
“North County Cremation has been good to my family during those sorrowful times. We used then when my mom passed, and then when my dad died. Today I set up pre-need arrangements for myself and my special needs son for when it's our turn. Alma & Ken are always professional, expedite and a calming influence. . I highly recommend North County Cremation Services.”
