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
“Glenda Chavez was wonderful to work with. She was so kind, helpful, considerate, compassionate and accommodating. She made us feel very comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience during our time of loss and grief. The entire staff at Riverside was very professional from our very first call to them. They helped make things less difficult, easy to understand and were very efficient. Our family would highly recommend using Riverside.”
— Ethel Copsey
“Riverside Funeral Home was so very nice and pleasant to work with, they helped us through his difficult time with caring and compassion. They took care of everything we needed them to. Thank you very much. I would recommend their services. K. Stevens”
— Kelly Stevens
“Please do not consider using Riverside. READ the negative reviews which all state the same concerns. Poor communication, do not return calls, do not reach out in any manner other than wanting extortion fees to pay for services, and last which is HUGE...will not even consider meeting with family for 12 days or more. I am talking the initial family meeting that could take 12 days or more! There are plenty of funeral homes that show compassion, care, and are willing to work with families during a difficult time. Riverside is NOT the one to use.”
