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
“Everyone at Van Orsdel is just beyond words to describe, as the most acceptional team of people who make an incredibly upsetting moment go with ease and calmness. My dad passed away suddenly, they truly assisted myself and my siblings throughout the entire process. The ceremony was beautiful, their guidance during the departure was at ease as well. Even gently walking us through the cremation phase, and necessary steps for paperwork and such was very well handled. Truly appreciative, and so very pleased with their services. Thank you so very kindly.”
— Pamela U.
“Stellar for a year now! Recommended by a friend, Crystal, Liz and the entire staff have been consistently accommodating, friendly and patient throughout my experience. Last year, they took care of all our cremation and document needs after my sister left us. This year, I wanted to have a small celebration of her life to mark the anniversary. Crystal let me communicate with her constantly. The day of the event, misunderstandings made me nervous, but Crystal and the staff made things perfect just in time. We went on to have an excellent gathering. I will always use Van Orsdel, and I will always recommend them to everyone I know!”
