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
“Tyra and her colleagues are very professional and caring people. I highly recommend them when in need of funeral services for a loved one.”
— Mark Harris
“Very professional and kind people. We had lots of questions when my brother passed away, and all the staff gave us lots of information that helped us make decisions. My family and I had a very good experience throughout the whole process (before, during viewing at the funeral home, funeral at the church, and at the gravesite). Thank you again. Hopefully we will not need your business again soon, but if/when we do, we will come back!”
— Deanna Howlett
“A close relative of mine died recently and I had to make funeral arrangements for them. After checking several Funeral Homes in the Evanston /Skokie area I decided upon The House of Thompson. Mr Gillette the Funeral Director, has a stellar reputation. I found his prices to be reasonable, his manners to be impeccable and his work to be outstanding. I really appreciate the care he took when preparing my loved one and his overall mastery of the Funeral process. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs a professional and caring Funeral Director for their loved one.”
