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
“I would highly recommend Santangelo Funeral Home in Woodland Park. Emily, Jodie, and Charlie were extremely kind and compassionate during a very difficult time. The funeral home itself was warm and welcoming. Emily was very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to all our needs. She handled every detail including the obituary, the service, and the memorial cards. We were treated more like family than clients at the Santangelo Funeral Home.”
— Joan Shoop

Jodie, Emily, Charlie, and Anthony were amazingly compassionate and professional throughout the entire process. We cannot thank them enough for taking care of her and making one of the worst weeks of our lives a lot less stressful. Mary and John Vittozzi”

The kindness and patience shown to our family brought comfort when we needed it most, and we will always be grateful for the way they helped us honor someone so dear in a way that felt meaningful and true to who they were.”
