Questions to Ask When You Call

“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.

What Families Say
“Newcomer staff at the South Chapel is very caring and accommodating when family is grieving death of loved one. Cremation and funeral cost are 2K-3K cheaper compared to other funeral homes in Dayton and surrounding region. Allows ample time to perform final Hindu rituals and perform cremation ceremony. I highly recommend Newcomer for the Hindu funeral and cremation service. They are willing to modify the service it to fit individual needs.”
— Punita Trivedi

Along with matt going out of his way delivering my son to the VA. & thank you Bob. God Bless you and your's. Best regards, Carol Jackson”

“Can't say nothing but good things about our first experience with Newcomer. Having to make a decision who to use at 10 pm at night, we were glad we called them as staff called back right away that night and the next morning. Obviously making arrangements for a funeral is very hard but Angie at the Kettering location helped us through it all. She was able to lighten the mood and spent all the time we needed to make arrangements for the passing of our love one. She also was very kind, helpful and patient at the cemetery. I would highly recommend.”
