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
“Pleasant experience with Tiffany setting up my arrangements. Very professional and courteous service. I feel great knowing my loved ones will not be stressed with all the details and $$ at a time where those things are not something you want to have to deal with while grieving. I highly recommend getting bc arrangements set up and prepaid.”
— Randall Simpson
“The staff are very knowledgeable, patient and caring, supportive, always available for questions, open to all of our concerns/ideas, professional and took care of everything within their power. My family is forever grateful for the staff at Sherwood Chapel.”
— Charlotte Garcia
“My father, paternal grandmother and grandfather are laid to rest here. I went to visit them about a week ago and noticed a few headstones that were cracked in half surrounding them. Also a decoration that said "welcome to my garden" on my dad's headstone was shattered into pieces. I didn't want to complain I just wanted one to be aware. My three loved ones have a beautiful view of the mountains. When you pull in l, merge right and around the HUGE beautiful tree is where you'll find the many cracked headstones. I think we counted four that were not previously cracked.”
