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
“National cremation society has helped us with my Mom and my Dads cremation. I like the convenience of their location, very easy to get to and the staff was very kind and able to answer our questions. I feel like they went out of our way to make us feel comfortable during a very difficult time. when my parents passed away, and I made one phone call to them everything fell into place. Very easy to navigate through in a difficult time in people’s lives. I would highly recommend them for your cremation needs. Robin Ockerman”

“With the death of my father, The Cremation Society has been very helpful and compassionate. My father had pre-arranged this service based on his wishes. We were guided through everything from beginning to end. The local staff Katherine and Elizabeth are wonderful to work with. They allow us to ask questions while being patient and thoughtful. They also check in regularly to see how we are doing and to offer assistance and grief resources. I highly recommend them for families to either pre-arrange or use their services.”
— Katie Sinkula
“This preplanning experience was easier and more pleasant than I had expected it to be. I do not know anyone else who has done this and after having to take care of a cremation recently that had no preplanning and was an unexpected death I knew I didn't want my family to have that what-do-I-do-now confusion. I felt totally relieved when I had signed the contract. Everything is in order, including the urn. My family has 1 phone number to call and everything will be taken care of for them and it's all paid for! Id recommend this for anyone considering cremation.”
