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
“We chose Hodroff-Epstein for my mother's services and I want to specifically recognize their funeral director, Erin Beeson. Erin was so kind. She handled all of our arrangements with utmost professionalism and the sensitivity you hope for during such a difficult time. She went above and beyond to help resolve some paperwork complications with Hennepin County, which took a big weight off my shoulders. Erin's support made a difficult time much easier, I can’t thank her enough.”
— Rada Varshavskaya
“Having to deal with arranging a funeral within a short period of time is stressful and difficult, especially when the deceased is an immediate family member. Hodroff-Epstein Memorial Chapel was absolutely wonderful and so helpful! From the very first time I called them, Hodroff-Epstein was there to assist me every step of the way. Jeff and his staff answered all my questions, and returned telephone calls promptly. They contacted the Adath Yeshurun Cemetery, and helped with contacting Rabbi Daniel Ettedgui to officiate the Service. They also helped me in choosing the casket, the seating, and even provided us with thank-you cards, a Yahrzeit candle for each member of the family observing the ritual of mourning. They took care of obtaining the death certificate, and ensured that the price wasn't out of our budget. The communication was great! Jeff and the staff were truly professional, polite, respectful, knowledgeable, and caring. I finally calmed down and was able to relax, knowing that I was in good hands with Hodroff-Epstein Memorial Chapel. I can't even begin to thank Jeff and the staff enough for all their time, hard work, and consideration, and I would highly recommend them to others in need of their services.”
