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
“Patience, courtesy, empathy and attention to detail. These are some of the hallmarks of quality and most important to providing excellent service. My family and I were able to experience this using James Funeral Home for my mother’s passing. In particular, Casey (Funeral Director) embodied all of the above attributes to make that happen. She was willing to help with any part of the process, even scanning pictures and answering calls at off hours whenever necessary. Thank you Casey For making a difficult time easier for my family.

“Our experience with James Funeral Home was very positive. They thoroughly explained everything, were empathetic and professional, and assisted us during a difficult time. They were easily accessible, answered every question in language I could understand, and were a great help. My Father’s funeral service was beautiful, with the full honors a man of his stature deserved. I highly recommend them for any planning assistance.”

“The reason why I would recommend James Funeral Home is simply because of Kim Bartlett-Tarrantino. She provided immaculate customer service and showed such great patience. She worked with our needs and took us step by step with the process. Kim made things very seamless and simple for us. We are truly thankful.”
