“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

“Nothing but good things to say about my experience with Barnes Family Funeral Home. Randy Barnes was so patient in answering all our questions as we made pre-need arrangements, and he went above and beyond in serving our unique needs, bringing years of dedicated and knowledgeable expertise to assist in our situation. My mother passed away very shortly after our arrangements were finalized, and every detail was handled in a courteous, respectful, and compassionate manner. Amanda Barnes-Adams was warm, friendly, and efficient in assisting with my mother’s obituary and making sure we were informed every step of the way. They are exceptional at what they do! We are beyond grateful!”

“We were so impressed with the professional and respectful way we were treated by Barnes. Mr. Barnes was knowledgeable and walked us through everything we needed to know. He and his daughter, Amanda were very patient with our questions and responded immediately when we contacted them. They put together a beautiful photo slide show with music and provided us with copies of it. We would definitely recommend them to anyone needing guidance and support after losing a loved one. Thank you again, The family of Jim VanBeber.”
