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
“Craig and the staff at West treated our son like the treasure he was from the moment of arrival to his final resting place. He looked so precious and handsome after a courageous battle with health in his short 9 years. They honored his memory so well! The amazing staff had empathy for his youth siblings and took extra time to care in a very difficult time. Craig handled many details including large visitations and services. Our families needs were met above and beyond expectation. In a world where these graces are rapidly disappearing West Funeral Homes hasn’t lost respect, honor, and care for loved ones and their families.”
— Jason Miller
“Alex was absolutely wonderful and went out of his way to work with our family to do what’s best. He absolutely went to bat for us and helped ensure the best service possible. I highly recommend Alex for your funeral needs!”
— Sarah Fox
“A young man lost his life and many people came to pay tribute. So many, the overflow room needed to be used. With something so important, you think they would be smart enough to do a sound check. People close to the young man needed to leave the overflow 15 minutes in and crowd around the open door of the main funeral space, as they never got the overflow sound to work. Absolutely atrocious! Beware the incompetence when coming here for something so important to so many.”
— James Rice
