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
“An absolute wonderful experience during difficult times dealing with the death of a parent. From the very time we walked in to the time we walked out it was actually perfect for the situation. Kim assisted us with care and understanding which is most important during the days following the death of a loved one. They did not try and up sale anything. All options were clearly stated and went very smoothly. They actually care about taking care of your deceased loved one. I feel my mother is in good hands here.”
— Taylor Bell
“The people of Bierschwale Heritage Oaks and Olinger-Saenz were the kindest, nicest people I've ever dealt with. At a very low and miserable time in our lives, they showed my family the most compassionate care possible. Their pricing was very reasonable, and we fealt no pressure to choose more expensive options. They prepared a beautiful memorial video for my brother Cliff, they took care of the funeral and burial service with absolute professionalism, and they helped me determine if my elderly parents could handle the ID viewing. I honestly can't express the depth of my gratitude to the Bierschwale family funeral homes for their loving care. Julie Barrow”

Last Service was for my daughter Roxanne Selvera, it was a beautiful service well taken care of. Before that was My Mother Eloisa Gonzalez, also done very well. Everyone was impressed with the services, again Jay Avila and the team took care of our needs. A team like this helps very much when we are at our lowest point in our Lives. Thank you Jay Avila for being there for us.”
