“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 recently had to arrange services for my father, and I cannot thank Tom and the entire team at Vazza’s “Beechwood” Funeral Home (now Vertuccio Smith & Vazza, Beechwood Home for Funerals) enough. From the moment I met Tom, he was incredibly respectful, compassionate, and attentive to our family’s wishes. His professionalism and kindness brought me great comfort during a very difficult time. When I saw everything come together for my dad’s wake, I was deeply touched. The presentation, the atmosphere, and every detail were handled with care and dignity. The funeral home itself is stunning, and the veterans’ tribute for my father was beautiful and heartfelt. I also had the pleasure of meeting Dan, Jeff, and several others — each of whom went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their warmth and professionalism truly stood out. I highly recommend Vertuccio Smith & Vazza, Beechwood Home for Funerals. They provided exceptional service, compassion, and respect every step of the way. Thank you all so very much God bless 🙏🏻”

From the initial visit with Dan, making some helpful recommendations, and his pleasant demeanor. To the day of ceremony, which I know my mother would be pleased. I'm glad we chose Vazza, and now understand why my family uses them exclusively.”
