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 have used Heartland Creation multiple times and they never disappoint. Joe, Rachel and Hannah always go above and beyond. They do more than just provide a service in time of need. They listen and are truly compassionate for every family's situation. They, in a way, become part of your family! It is comforting knowing Heartland Creation is always available when I need them!”
— Cheryl Meisinger
“My mother recently passed away on October 10th and while she lived in Missouri, I'm born and raised in Texas so I was already stressed about everything once we knew she was going to pass. Heartland handled everything for me that they can legally and possibly do. I was never left feeling lost or anything like that through the entire process. When I had questions about anything I had immediate answers. Their website and the online forms are very easy to figure out and complete. In the next couple of days I'll have her back from cremation already and it's been maybe 2 weeks, October 20th as I write this, which is a fast turnaround time for everything I had chosen to do. I can't highly recommend them enough and they were referred to us by someone at University Hospital. Thank you for everything you have done for me and my family. I wish words could describe the way I feel.”
— M. D. Carlin
