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.

“All of the staff including the directors were amazingly helpful and understanding during a difficult event regarding our loved one. The staff was both professional and caring and the event was beautifully decorated and meticulously planned. Additionally, Ryan and the other directors enabled me via their technology to present a loving video tribute to my Mother and also play the prayers of my pastors from out of state during the service. I would highly recommend Holomon Brown and their staff.”

“My father requested that I use Holloman-Brown. I did not research them and this was my first experience with planning a funeral. I learned a lot, and the most important lessson I learned was not to use Holloman-Brown. They were zero help with planning and everythng action they did take was slow and had additional charges. Really bad experience. On the bright side, they gave me another reason to hope I never die.”

“Our family desired to have our dad buried at the Arlington National Cemetery. At first we began working with another company in Hampton but due to their poor management decided to look around for another funeral provider. We contacted the funeral director with Holloman-Brown at Tidewater who took over all of the planning, corrected some of the bad planning of the previous company, and, in short, helped to make the Arlington funeral an effortless, flawless memorial event for our family. The director disclosed all prices, managed all details with precision, kept me well informed leading up to the funeral, and on the day of the event, there were no surprises. Myself and my family are extremely pleased with the services provided by Hollomon at this Tidewater Dr. location. All of their costs were in line with the the competition. If I could rate this company and it's Tidewater funeral director a 6 I would do so. It doesn't get better than this! I am so grateful we chose them.”
