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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“Nobody ever wants to make this type of arrangement, but if you find you have to, I highly recommend Richmond Cremation. They couldn't have made it any easier, as everything can be accomplished online. I also found the staff extremely caring and compassionate; they even called me immediately prior to my brother's cremation to let me know that it would be beginning, as I chose not to view it. Services are affordably priced too.”
— Rebecca Lassiter
“I found Richmond Cremation to be extremely helpful, sensitive to my situation, and professional. Also, they did not try to sell me more services than I wanted, which I very much appreciated. The cost was very reasonable, too.”
— Linda Keener
“Chuck was very helpful and explained the pre-preparation details very succinctly and simply. I highly recommend Richmond Cremation as I feel that I have carefully decided to use them upon my passing. I have recommended them to my friends.”
