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
“From my experience they are the best. My family usually go with another funeral home but when my kids grandfather services were handled by them I felt nothing but love. They really make you feel like family. So my family decided to go with them when my stepfather passed. They are not out to rob you like the others. I will be doing my prepaid policies through them for me and my children. I cannot thank them enough for being there during this difficult time. They were there immediately when I went to them. If you need an affordable trustworthy funeral home, look no further than Richardson. They give you the traditional funeral services you’re used to.”

“Oh my God they do not deserve one star its no way my girl's father looking like that this was ridiculous a shame came all the way from New Orleans for disappointment”
— Brown Sugar
“My son"s funeral was the worst. There were problems with his corpse not being handled properly. The funeral director was not professional discussing information with persons that were not part of my family. Had no knowledge of the cremation laws in Louisiana. On the day before my son's funeral at 8 pm we learned he could not be cremated so no burial plans were made. Paid for a plot the following Monday called Tuesday and my son is still at this funeral home. They need to be shut down immediately.”
