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
“I am forever grateful to Derek and his staff! They made a sad experience a lot easier on my family. So caring and professional. I highly recommend using Summit!!”
— Brenda Cruz
“We had a truly wonderful experience with Summit Funeral and Cremation during a very difficult time. From the beginning, Derek was exceptional. He was kind, accommodating, and genuinely thoughtful. He guided us through the planning process with such care and never made us feel pressured or rushed. Alex helped at the visitation and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, from the dessert trays to the set up. She worked tirelessly, and it showed. Her dedication and compassion were deeply appreciated by our entire family. We honestly can’t say enough good things about the team at Summit. Their professionalism and warmth made a hard moment much more bearable, and we’re so grateful for everything they did.”
— Crystal Swarbrick
“SUMMIT was a great, affordable option for use as a funeral home. They were caring, listened to our needs, and they were very transparent with pricing. They responded to phone calls and emails outside of business hours which was very appreciated during the first few days after the death. Highly recommend.”
— Cara Quie
