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
“John, Shirley and Jay brought calm and compassion to the emotional chaos of loss. They walked along side us instead of selling to us, and they went out of their way to make sure Mom’s burial and service were what my Dad needed. The internment was out of town, and Jay and Shirley stayed,reassuring us they would be present for the entire burial process despite a long drive home for them. John didn’t “sell” us anything. He found a way to honor what we wanted for Mom. I have had the misfortune of already referring a friend to them because her parent passed, but I knew my friend’s family would be treated with honor and respect here.”

“We cannot begin to describe how, the second we walked into Hidden Valley Funeral Home, it felt like we walked into a family or friend’s home. John Miles and his staff were kind, compassionate, and patient. Our mom, Elizabeth Juvet, pre-planned almost everything that was needed. We only had to make a few small decisions. Some family, the Hightower’s and the Bartlett’s, are in Missouri. Other family came in from New York. John welcomed us all and made sure Mom’s final wishes were followed. We cannot thank you enough!”
— Tracey Juvet
“My husband passed away recently, Hidden Valley Funeral Home of Kearney did an incredible job for my family. John Miles and his staff made this painful process easier for myself and family. They provided us with everything we needed for his services- even printing more printouts and more thank you cards on short notice. The slideshow software they use was incredibly easy and the slideshow will be a perfect keepsake for myself and our daughter to always have. Andrew’s services were also excellent, I was very impressed with all the services we received! The memorial guest book was so nice and even included pictures and his obituary printout.”
