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
“This is a very cost affordable option for people offering better pricing than other local funeral homes I looked into after my fathers passing. Their service is anything but cheap though. They were extremely easy to work with and easy to get ahold of. Anytime you call you speak with a person right away and they will reach out to you during the important milestones of the the difficult process of losing a loved one. I am extremely appreciative of their people and I am very happy with their service”
— Thomas Mitchell
“I was very pleased with the service we received from the team at Area Cremation Services. From my initial phone calls to get information, to our final encounter when we picked up my mother-in-law‘s ashes. Everyone was extremely professional, courteous, and compassionate. Special thanks to Teresa, who helped us navigate this difficult process. The Windsor Urn is very beautiful and understated.”
— Cassandra Grizer
“From the moment I called until receiving my dad back, Area Cremation Group was so kind and so professional. At such a heartbreaking time I felt as though they truly cared about us. It wasn’t just about the money for them it was about truly taking care of my loved one.”
