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
“I was lost after my father died and don’t know where to begin. Harper-Talasek funeral home, the owner Dominic and his team helped put a lot of my worries at ease. Harper-Talasek was very helpful and understanding at every step. Out wishes, concerns and headaches were met with kindness, compassion and understanding. We mentioned that my father’s favorite cookie was Vienna Finhers and at his views with the snack that they provided for us were those exact cookies. Words don’t adequately express how great Harper-Talasek Funeral Home is. In your time of need and grief Dominic and his team are exactly the type of people you want taking care of your concerns.”

“As soon as we walked in the door Lauren was a godsend. She was friendly, personable, and made the process so easy. My sister passed away suddenly and unexpectedly; Laurens kind heart softened the blow. Funeral home is beautiful, clean and well kept. When viewing and spending time with my sister, they made sure to give us plenty of time, nothing felt rushed. Everything was beautiful, the flowers, she made a great dvd slideshow of photos we provided, I made a Spotify playlist that played along with the slideshow. Everything really was top notch. The prices were pretty reasonable too, I’ve never had to deal with the financial aspect of a death, but every cost was laid out so we knew where every dollar went. This place was excellent, if you’re looking for a great place with compassionate, caring people, look no further, you’ve found it❤️”
