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
“McNearney-Schmidt Funeral & Cremation was absolutely wonderful in helping my family with my Dad's funeral arrangements. From the very beginning, they were kind, patient, and attentive to every detail. Even though our service was small and intimate, it was still a very emotional and stressful time, and they made the entire process feel smooth and manageable. Colin had been our Funeral Director the day we had service. He went above and beyond by re-creating an obituary I wrote but could not be uploaded due to file type. I also worked with Joe and Amy on a variety of planning steps and they all ensured everything we needed was met. Their communication was clear, everything was well organized, and they followed through on every promise. My family and I are truly grateful for their compassion and professionalism during such a difficult moment. I would highly recommend McNearney-Schmidt to anyone in need of funeral services. Five stars without hesitation. Thank you!”

“My family and I have been using McNearney-Schmidt for many years and I could not recommend them enough. Everyone there has been great. We worked with Joe and Colin most recently for my uncles service. Joe made the planning process easy and I was able to contact him directly for changes or additions we wanted to make leading up the service. Colin was there to help us during the service and burial, and was extremely helpful and respectful. The care and consideration they provide will not be forgotten!”
