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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“Our family is deeply grateful to Mike Barna and the staff at Gordon Emerick Funeral Home. Their compassionate guidance and thoughtful suggestions made a difficult time much easier. They were incredibly responsive and efficient, coordinating closely with our chosen florists, church, and cemetery to ensure every detail was executed flawlessly. They truly went the extra mile to work alongside us and lift the burden from our grieving family.”
— Deborah Los
“After losing my dad in June, I unfortunately lost my mom in September. Again, Michael Barna stepped up to plate and made this process extremely worry free. Such a great experience. I absolutely recommend him!”
— Kevin Grosky
“5 stars, highly recommended. Michael Barna, Pastor Jeff and the staff went above and beyond our expectations in the funeral and burial services for a relative. Michael answered all of my questions along the way and the service and burial was very well done. My relative had a military funeral, which included an engraved casket and flag ceremony. Funerals are a very difficult and emotional event, but Michael and the staff did a wonderful job from start to finish. We are very thankful.”
