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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“Our family is deeply grateful for the exceptional care and professionalism shown by Scott, the Funeral Director at Hartford Community Funeral Home. From the moment we first contacted them, Scott was incredibly compassionate and provided clear guidance during a very difficult time. He made us at ease in comparison to other funeral homes that we spoke with. Every detail was handled with thoughtfulness and precision, which allowed us to focus on grieving and celebrating our cousin life rather than the logistics. When we needed paperwork to assist with one of family members to get a visa, he was extremely prompt with his response. The facility itself was peaceful and created a comforting atmosphere for family and friends. Their ability to seamlessly incorporate our personal requests made the service a truly meaningful and beautiful tribute to her memory. We highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a supportive and caring team. Scott and his team went above and beyond our expectations and made this challenging and confusing process much easier to bear. The Sanozier Family”
