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've had two recent experiences with Pierce Brothers since mid 2025. The first was with regards to their help when my mother passed away. She had purchased burial plans when she lived in the Phoenix area, using a Dignity Memorial facility. When my mother moved to Simi Valley, CA, her services were easily transferred to Pierce Brothers, also a Dignity Memorial facility. When she passed away, the Pierce Brothers team was very helpful and gracious, ensuring that I, as executor, had no decisions or headaches associated with Mom's final details. Recently my husband and I met with Jonathan Mosher, Family Service Counselor with Pierce Brothers. Though I had spoken with him about preplanning for us last year, we were not ready to make decisions about our own needs and preferences until now. Jonathan has always been very helpful and patient; we felt comfortable both with him and the services offered by Pierce Brothers. This company has provided us excellent professional service, has lovely cemetery grounds and options, but also has flexibility, in the event we were to move away or need mortuary services while traveling in the US. We are glad to finally have these decisions made and are also glad to take advantage of current pricing as it inevitably is more costly if paid out in future at time of death. I can speak from experience that the living appreciate when these decisions and payment details have been taken care of prior to need. We appreciate Jonathan helping guide us through the process.”

“We have a complicated situation and Jonathan Mosher at PIERCE BROTHERS patiently and articulately took us step-by-step through the arrangements. He was diligent, congenial and professional and left us confident that all our plans would be carried out exactly as we wish. Our main concern is making sure our children do not have to struggle with anything after our deaths and now we have the enormous pace of mind that we've accomplished all our plans.”
— Mark Rosenthal
“Eugene was wonderful. He was caring, kind, patient, and professional. Thank you for accommodating our family and making our Mom's service beautiful.”
