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
“Dawn gave our family the most wonderful care and attention to detail we would expect, except she went above and beyond anything we could have asked for. We were so grateful to her for fulfilling our fathers funeral wishes. Thank you so much!”
— Sarah Decastro
“We have used Chase Funeral Home in the past for both of my parents I'm very pleased with the service we received. There was no question to call Chase recently when my husband passed. I dealt with Dawn and thenTanya to set up my personal plan guide, so that my children don't have to worry when I'm gone. Everything will be taken care of. Gives me such peace of mind. I want to thank both Dawn and Tanya for helping me through the process with such compassion and caring for my well being. Sincerely, Lillian”
— Lilian Lee
“The funeral director, Dawn James @ Chase could not have done anything better. She was wonderful in every way. Her guidance and willingness to listen to all of our wishes for our loved one were just fantastic. she gave feedback on why something might not work and what we might want to do instead. Cannot say enough about her. The movie that was created for the visitation was beautifully done. Highly recommend Chase Funeral Home.”
