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

“I couldn't be more pleased with the pre planning services our family has received. Mrs Caroline Minnick was wonderful start to finish, she was polite and thorough and answered any and all questions we had. She was amazing at following up with me and giving me time to get all the paperwork I would need together. I know that when the time comes Caruth-Hale will take care of all our needs with care and compassion. Highly recommend to get your pre planning done, they offer insured payment plans that fit every budget.”

“Caruth Hale Funeral Home and the staff there took excellent care of my family and I. Enrique, the general manager, worked closely with us and helped us through every step of the funeral planning process. Enrique treated us with compassion, care, and kindness. He showed the upmost respect during our time of grieving. He explained everything clearly and communicated with us to make sure we were aware every step of the way. If you are in Hot Springs, AK area, I highly recommend working with Enrique and Caruth Hale Funeral Home. They will take care of you, and make an already difficult part of life less stressful.”

“I had the memorial at the Hot Springs Village location for my beautiful wife. Andrew and his team went above and beyond what I expected. The staging showed everything my wife loved in detail. From cooking to golf to just being out in nature.Everyone who attended couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful everything was. I never had a problem in any and every request I asked. From a final private viewing of my love with our children and grandchildren. A wonderful place to say goodbye to your loved ones.”
