“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.

“We worked with Bob and had a wonderful experience. He made everything easy and was so kind, courteous and professional. We have utilized Desert Sun’s services several times and the experiences has always been very caring and professional. They have never been pushy in any way. We feel very comfortable with them and see no reason to go any where else! We highly recommend them.”

“At such a horrible time in our lives, losing our Dad, Desert Sunset employees provided important information to us with the next steps in a calm and helpful manner. They were also very thorough about things like ordering enough death certs as well as walking us through the arrangements and timeline for cremation. Very upfront about cost which we felt was reasonable. Appreciated the detailed invoice and packet of information on what to expect as well as follow up texts and phone calls for any of our concerns.”

“My family can’t thank Francine with Desert Sunset Funeral home, enough. Her kindness, warmth and professionalism were top notch! She made everything easy, during the most difficult time, at the loss of my father. She was so compassionate, and kind with my Mom as she had lost her husband of 63 years. We highly recommend Francine and Desert Sunset. Thank you again, Francine!”
