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
“During one of the hardest times of my life, this funeral home provided not just a service, but genuine care and compassion. They understood my grief and treated us with kindness and respect. It never felt like it was “just business” to them. Their support made a painful process a little more bearable, and for that, I am deeply grateful.”
— M Cristiani
“Chinn Funeral Services was truly a blessing to my family and not just because the cost for services are reasonable. Tyra made the process so easy from the moment she answered the phone, especially considering I'd never had to be involved in the arrangements for a funeral. She was very patient, very very kind, and very flexible. She even had my mom laughing (we lost my brother).Tyra was also very knowledgeable about and has great rapport with cemeteries in the area.”
— Shalita Gray
“We use or refer Chinn Funeral Services whenever there's an opportunity. The staff are great to work with and the services are top notch. If you're really concerned with the way your loved one looks, I highly recommend you employ their services. Cosmetics and the hair styles always look so natural and are styled according to one's wishes. It may seem odd, but they have a way of caring about how the deceased looks in public - never a "waxy" look.”
— Sherrod & Anita Tibbs
