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.

“My mother passed in May 2021 & my uncle recently on July 13, 2025. I cannot say enough about this location and the genuine care, love, and compassion they provide . During these times there is so much going on-it is easy to feel overwhelmed; however the staff truly makes a difficult process easier. They do not pressure and they listen which speaks volumes. You are treated like family and when your loved one is memorialized Martin and Castille does so with such love and dedication. From the time your loved one is picked up to beyond, you and your loved one are treated with dignity and respect. Even after the funeral extra care is taken to call/text checking in during the following months. I have been to numerous funerals at this location and they are the best by far -the location, the facility (is beautiful) and the staff I truly cannot say enough about. Dylan, Kearn, Joshua, Mrs. Jodi, Mr. Harold-they are true godsends during difficult times. It takes special people to do this type of work and they are truly those special people. Their patience, understanding, support, and compassion is so appreciated. I will never use any other funeral home but Martin and Castille. Trust me there IS a difference. God bless them and the work they do ❤️”

“In our time of grief, which was somewhat unexpected, Martin & Castille were our guiding angels. From transport of our mother from home to funeral home to the burial itself, EVERY SINGLE PERSON was genuinely kind, compassionate, and professional. I cannot say enough about Martin & Castille and would recommend to all. Thank you all, again, for the unbelievable care you gave to my mother and our family.”
— Emily Folsom
“I can't say enough good things about this company. In one of the hardest moments in life that you will go through, they really make it not only a bearable experience but a good experience to say the least. Its true professionalism from the moment your loved one takes there last breath. They really handle everything in a way that none of it feels burdensome. I've used them for both of my parent's and I have to say they looked just like themselves. Which is rare nowadays at funerals. They even went so far as to check on me afterwards. Highly recommend. Definitely Five Star Services.”
