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.

“I cannot express enough how grateful my sister and I am for the kindness and compassion we received from N.A. JAMES. Noah was a pleasure to work with - if there can be such a thing in these times. Affordable, efficient, understanding, friendly, kind... there aren't enough good adjectives to truly explain all that we are grateful for. I believe they genuinely have a heart for people. You all made a devastating situation easy and comfortable. Thank you.”

“The owners and operators at NA James are AMAZING people! My mom passed in 2021 and was in a horrible place. This company worked with me to make ME happy with the circumstances I was dealing with. They went above and beyond for me and my small family. They were so generous with their pricing and made sure I had the time to handle everything. This place is amazing and I hate to see anyone speak I'll of them and I hate that i waited this long to make this review. When I was barely holding it together they all grabbed me and held me when I needed it the most. I cannot thank then enough for their compassion, generosity, and kindness. Thank you NA James Family! You are SO appreciated!!”

“Butch has done my whole entire family funerals since before I was born. All the way up until now. He helped so many people who didn’t have insurance money’s to bury their loved ones. My parents were insured thank God. Not to mention they give you more than what your money actually pays for. Butch has now passed on as of last year. I’ll continue to do business with this funeral home as long as they continue to do good, caring, fare business, and continue to go over and beyond.”
