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 give Sparkman family of funeral homes very high marks. They clearly demonstrated sincere compassion and understanding and guided us through the whole process, where we really had very very little experience dealing with such events in life. Genna was my funeral home director. She was wonderful and eliminated so much stress with the weekend events and service for my WW II father that was months away from 105 when passing.”
— Sarah White
“My parents had their wishes planned out. When my mom passed away in 2010 and my dad passed this year (2026), they respected their wishes and didn’t try to upsell us when we had our appointment to set up the services. Everyone we dealt with was absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend Sparkman for planning your final destination. I’d especially like to thank Jody, Kaelah, Rosie, Sabiyah, and Genna.”
— James Barnett
“I have coordinated several family funerals at Sparkman, and I can confidently say that Jody and her team are the best. I could not have asked for a better team to assist with my brother’s and father’s funeral services. With their passing just five days apart. Having to plan for two funerals back to back, Jody and her team at Sparkman, on Greenville Ave., it was an overwhelming time for our family. Jody and her team made the entire process feel manageable. They listened carefully, offered thoughtful guidance, and executed every detail seamlessly. Our family is deeply grateful for their compassion, professionalism, and support.”
