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
“My husband recently passed. His cremation was handled by the Neptune Society in Chico, Ca. I worked with Margaret and her associate. They were compassionate and kind and understood the heavy emotional blanket of grief. Everything went smoothly and on time. When I went to pickup the cherry wood urn we had chosen they had a private room set up for me to spend some time alone with him before taking him home. I felt cared for and understood.”
— Cindy Gates
“During one of the hardest moments our family has faced, the Neptune Society handled my aunt’s cremation services with genuine care and compassion. They provided consistent updates, checked in often, and made sure we never felt lost or overwhelmed. What could have been an unbearable process was handled with ease, dignity, and kindness. We are deeply grateful for the respect and support they showed our family during such a painful time.”
— J Myers
“Neptune Society made everything so much easier when my Mom passed. Allowing for the pre-paid arrangements helps the loved ones left from trying to figure out what someone wanted. Chico branch walked me through everything and were so supportive Getting my Mom back with all the necessary documents went so smoothly. Thank you for making a difference during a difficult time.”
