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
“Thank you so much to allen brithers for giving us our best service for my father. Thank you again for taking good care of my father. Special thanks to Darren.”
— Robin kim
“It is under the worst of circumstances that I'm on this business writing a review, but in the process of burying a loved one, Tanya at Allen Brothers has made it all the best outcome possible. My close friends husband unexpectedly passed away, and I was fielding all of the arrangement coordination and conversations. Never having to handle something like this before, I found that there were dozens of phone calls and e-mails necessary, lots of information to be exchanged, etc. Not once did Tanya ever give me a hard time being the fact that I wasn't direct family or next of kin. She was so helpful and patient through every step of the way and really helped me manage all the details I needed to process with the family. She was also so compassionate and kind in every conversation both with me, and my friend who was obviously more distraught. Any time I called the mortuary and Tanya wasn't available, both Darren and Hollis always offered to help and always relayed information back to Tanya. There wasn't a single time I was expecting a call back and didn't get one. They always followed through. I'm so sorry if you're reading this review because you've lost someone special, but if God for bid I had to do this again, I would absolutely do it with Tanya.”
— Jessica Garcia
“Allen Brothers has taken care of the end of life needs for 3 family members. One was an accident, very hard for our family. They have done a great job in all circumstances. We are in the planning stages for two older family members. I recommend them.”
