“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.

“Hello. I would like to share the best choice I think we made in coming to Libby’s Funeral home. Someone had suggested Libby’s to us and so we went. With absolutely no regrets!!!! We had the honor and privilege of working closely with Joe. This was the most painful time in our lives because of my uncle Rene’s ‘Scout’ untimely death. What truly amazes me is when things got extremely explosive, how Joe helped to keep things calm. He catered to each of our needs individually. Thank you , Joe, for your ability to help us at a time when emotions of pain and sorrow are what’s leading the way. Allowing us to vent and then helping us to become grounded before making any final decisions. This helped me tremendously in putting my feelings aside and allowing my uncles memory to be what was most important. Thank you, all of you, who was able to join us on that very day, as we celebrated Tio’s life and how you shared with us how he touched your life personally.”

“We lost a brother last week. He lived in Beacon, and I live in CT. I was given Libby Funeral phone number from the nursing home. It was the first number on the list, and I wasn't in the best of shape to shop around. I am so glad that Libby was first on the list. We did a cremation, and bought an Urn. They did a great job in the handling of everything. My brother was treated with dignity, and respect. Joe was the person who helped me. He was compassionate, and sincere. Thank you for taking good care of my brother.”
