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 can’t say enough wonderful things about Blue Ridge Funeral home. We lost my Dad in February and were so worried about planning a celebration of Life. I reached out to Kathleen and she immediately became like family. She met with us quickly walked us through our options and was beyond kind and understanding of our loss. Instead of a normal formal funeral we planned a celebration at life at their beautiful facility. Our package included catering so we didn’t even have to prepare food. Myself and my sweet mother were so tired from being at the hospital with my sweet Dad for a month and were so relieved catering was included. The food and caterer were spectacular and all my Dad’s family and friends just raved about a perfect celebration of life. Kathleen made us feel like family when all our hearts were breaking. We all felt my Dad’s spirit and light and know he was so proud of the celebration of life and just what he wanted. It was one of the most special days of my life. ❤️🙏”

“My sisters grave was located under an acorn tree. The grass had not grown and it stayed covered in mud when it rained. The acorns would actually knock you in the head when you visited her grave at certain times of the year... I contacted the office and spoke with Pam. She took this information to the grounds crew and they immediately cut back the limbs on the tree and planted grass seed. I was so pleased at how "quickly" they addressed this issue and I look forward to knowing my sweet sisters' resting place will be neat and clean for years to come because "they do care about their grounds and your loved ones who are resting in their gardens". Thank you Blueridge Memorial Gardens Management and Staff! Pamela Bell”
