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 just wanted to say the Rivers SFH&C were so caring, helpful and I could never thank these people for how they handled my father's funeral last year. It is always difficult and overwhelming to handle the death of a loved one and make funeral arrangements, the Rivers funeral home did practically everything down to the last details. I only had to provide information and his suit. On my way to the funeral home I had to turn back and get that suit because I forgot it. I was on overload. They also calmed me down and were so caring and showed great concern for me in my emotional mess. There are not enough thank yous to express my gratitude to them. I would recommend them a million times over!”
