“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.

“Had my moms viewing and service here at Community Funeral Care, Carmichael Chapel this week and can’t say enough Good things about them! They were awesome from the beginning to the end! They were so professional at everything they did! They had plenty of staff to facilitate our viewing and services. Alon and her assistant answered every question we had with respect and caring! My mom was laid out beautifully. I could not have asked for anything better from their caring staff! I will not ever go anywhere but Community Funeral Care if the need arises again! Thanks Community Funeral Care for such a wonderful going home service for my mom! My family will always be grateful to you for everything you did for us!”

“The service for my Mother Eunice Lapsley-Jones, was excellent the service that was provided to my family from Alon, Wayne Kelly was amazing from the beginning when my mother arrived to Fort Wayne Ind. to the end the repass. We could not have asked for more, they were polite, caring and respectful of our time that we needed to be with our Mother. My mother was looking beautiful as usual. The service was awesome everything was perfect no flaws with Community Funeral Home. They made us feel comfortable at the viewing and at the service they showed us a lot of compassion. Thank you for everything you all did for my family.~Sabrina Lapsley~”

“My mom Mary Sistrunk passed away in January 2023 and I yet can't come to terms with the fact that her Pre-paid funeral package Was Not honored , being told by a disrespectful clerk name Dee that prices have gone up. I was also told by Alon that the bloating of my mom's remains came from toxins was not true. Not storing her remains at the proper temperature caused it. I couldn't put mom to rest on the day of her service because Carmichael clerk didn't clear things with Covington Cemetery ,I had to return back to Fort Wayne 3 days later, get help from church members to do this. I pray no one else has to go through this. My Mother deserved much better dignity than was given. God sees everything!!! REST MOMA. You Served Your Spiritual Calling Well. "WELL DONE" !!!”
