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
“Over the years, Rob and Westford Funeral Home has helped my family through some hard moments — caring for four of my grandparents and my stepfather. Each time, they have shown an amazing level of professionalism, compassion, and respect that made a difficult process a little easier. They took the time to listen, answered every question, and made sure our wishes were carried out exactly as intended. Their attention to detail and kindness toward my family have meant more than words can express. I’m deeply grateful for everything they’ve done for my family.”
— VAUGHN THOMAS
“Our contact at Westford was Stephanie, she helped us with all of the aspects of my sister’s memorial service, and Westford also handled my mother’s service last June. My sister passed on February 17, 2020. Due to Covid we were forced to delay her service until mid-June of 2020 & nearly the same day of June the following year, my mother passed. Needless to say, the last two years have been very difficult (inc’l losing my Bichon, a beloved family pet for 12 years). Westford did an excellent job with both services. Stephanie was thorough, responsive & kind. She was also well-scheduled & kept the deadlines for obit; video remembrance & all vendor contracts on schedule. I’m grateful that Westford helped make an exceedingly difficult time a little more bearable. I recommend their services which are delivered with respect, compassion & kindness.”

“My wife passed away from cancer at 37. I say this to let you know we are not the traditional sort when it comes to a funerary experience and Westford was extremely friendly and accommodating to all the quirky Millennial shenanigans that we required for my wife's viewing. Maureen and Ally were extremely amazing in particular and make the whole horrifying experience as easy as it could be. I hope I never have need of their services again, but if I do, I know where in Bellingham I'll go.”
