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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 had the opportunity to experience the absolute amazing services of Apostle 1 Funeral Home. My mother passed and with anxiety and grief overtaking me, the owner/operator Lavelle Bing comforted and assured me that all will be well. She walked me through the process, called and or text to make sure I did not need anything through the process. She is an extremely professional, God fearing woman who knows her job and loves helping others. I honestly felt as if my Mom was cared for like a family member. During the funeral the staff were professional, efficient and everything again moved smoothly. Thank you Lavelle Bing and Apostle 1 staff for everything. Love the Edwards/Green family”
— Bridgett Edwards
“Lavelle was the sweetest lady ever. Super caring and thoughtful to my family. Our family will always be super grateful for what she did for our family. My dad’s death is super hard on us but she made the process a lot easier and we can’t thank her enough. We totally recommend her . If I could give more than 5 stars I would. She definitely deserves it. If you have a death in your family and want super affordable rates, apostle is the place to go. Thanks again Lavelle!”
— JOSHUA Myers
“I just wanted to say thank you to Ms. Lavelle Bing for being amazing and professional during this difficult time for our family. From the moment I met Lavelle there was an instant connection between us, I can’t explain it but I knew she was the one that was going to make everything perfect. This was a very difficult time for my family with the loss of my brother and Lavelle went above and beyond what our expectations were. Lavelle you are an amazing person with a soul like no other and from the bottom of my heart my family and I would like to thank you for an amazing job you did and for giving my family the peace we needed!! ❤️❤️”
