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.

“Our family's experience with Griffin Funeral Services left us deeply disappointed. For brevity, I'm going to focus just on some of the bigger issues. First, when we arrived and met with Pete Brady, my mom and aunt asked to view my dad's body. Pete told us, "We've got a lot of bodies back there," and went to see what state my dad was in. He returned and told us my dad had already been sent to autopsy. We are completely understanding of timelines and what has to be done, but not taking a few minutes before our scheduled meeting to ensure he had an update was unacceptable and made a terrible situation worse. Pete showed no sympathy or compassion during our meeting or during these blunders. My aunt and Pete briefly discussed her viewing after autopsy, so Pete called me to check in when the body returned. He told me, "He looks HORRIBLE, I mean HORRIBLE." While I understand him wanting to discourage my aunt from viewing, there are certainly more tactful ways to do that. When I went to pick up my dad's ashes, I watched as the woman at the front desk struggled to put them in a branded tote bag. She threw in about 10 promotional pens. Then, instead of taking one minute to walk around from the office to hand me my dad's ashes, she handed them to me through a window. Watching the ashes being handled alongside promotional items and delivered through a service window was disheartening and felt profoundly impersonal. It pains me to say that our experience with Griffin was marked by a fundamental lack of empathy and consideration. For those seeking a funeral service that provides genuine compassion and respect during such a delicate time, I would advise looking elsewhere.”

“My experience with Griffin Funeral Home has been wonderful. The staff are all very compassionate , caring, and comforting. They make such a difficult time less stressful. The cost of services at Griffin Funeral Home compared to the other funeral homes are more reasonable. Thank you to all the staff that were so helpful, and especially to Mr. and Mrs. Griffin for being so genuine and kind. I truly recommend Griffin Funeral Homes.”
