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
“Riley Smith & Sons Funeral Home provided exceptional care and professionalism during a very difficult time for our family. My father did not wish to have a large funeral, so we chose to hold a small, intimate service with just our family, and it turned out beautifully. The staff at Riley Smith & Sons were compassionate, attentive, and always available to answer any questions or calls. We also trusted them with my father’s cremation, and they personally delivered his ashes to the VA Cemetery in Houston, Texas. The gentleman who made the delivery was kind, respectful, and represented the funeral home with great dignity. I am deeply grateful for the support and understanding shown by everyone at Riley Smith & Sons Funeral Home and would highly recommend their services to any family in need. The Richardson Family”
