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
“Truly phenomenal Funeral Home! They treat you like family and offer many services. Every funeral home is different and La Paz stands above them because of their support to families during through difficult time.”
— Juan M
“Very Helpful staff, The owners Perla and Victor were very helpful, understanding and easy to work with, also the lovely receptionist Victoria she had all the documents I needed ready for when I called. One thing I can say is always ask and say what services you want for your loved one’s funeral, such as special requests like a police escort, which sometimes people may think they are already included, the police escort services are a extra cost. So just always keep in mind when setting up a funeral. LLJ 🕊️ miss you primo”
— Jorge Melchor
“We recently had my nephew's funeral at La Paz funeral home and though the 2 staff members were very helpful and friendly, there were some things that need to be noted. #1 the pastor (husband to the CEO, which is stated on their page), seemed like he did not want to be there and gave a 7 minute speech. He also was a no show at the cemetery, which left the family and friends to speak even in their sorrow. This Mr. Mendoza was a perfect platform with young men and women, to draw them to the Lord and your speech and no show was not only unprofessional but lacked the compassion that the family needed. I pray that this review helps you to reevaluate your message and do better at showing God's love to your community. #2 is that there was no police escort. Police escort should be at every funeral, not only for respect but also for safety issues when driving to the cemetery. I rate you a 3 because I truly believe you have 2 staff members that are kind hearted and the platform and facility to do amazing!”
