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
“When I entered Bennett's I wasn't sure if I could have my husband cremated without a wake. Mr Tom DiCarlo guided me every step of the way. He was caring, knowledgeable & sensitive. A fine and upstanding representative of Bennett. I was very impressed & pleased with Bennett.”
— Margaret Mayo
“The service, kindness, consideration and professionalism we experienced from every person we had dealings with at Bennett Funeral Home was exceptional. At the worst time in our lives they did everything possible to make those days as seamless as possible. It is a place no one wants to have to use but when it is needed there is no where else I would go. Many thanks to Tom DiCarlo and all the staff. Dr. & Mrs. Thomas Camisa”
— Christine Camisa
“When our mom passed away on a Sunday, we asked if it was possible to have her service on Tuesday. Even with such short notice, Jeff at Edwin Bennett Funeral Home went above and beyond to make it happen. Everything was handled with care, compassion, and professionalism. The flowers we ordered directly through them were beautiful and made it one less step for us during such a difficult time. The service was comforting from start to finish, and our family truly felt their care and support. We are deeply grateful and would highly recommend Tommy and Jeff at Edwin Bennett Funeral Home to anyone in need of compassionate and professional service.”
