“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.

“Losing my mother-in-law in December was one of the most difficult times our family has faced. We turned to Pridgen Funeral Service — and are so grateful we did. Mrs. Tuawana Pridgen was exceptional from start to finish. Her kindness, compassion, and professionalism brought a sense of calm and ease to an incredibly painful process. She guided us through every decision with patience and care, and coordinated seamlessly with an out-of-state funeral home to arrange our loved one's transportation and burial — something that could have been overwhelming, but felt completely handled. Most importantly, Mrs. Pridgen prepared my mother-in-law beautifully. She looked so peaceful and like herself — exactly as she would have wanted. That gift means more than words can express. The obituary was thoughtfully designed and printed on thick, quality paper. Pridgen truly lives up to their mission of treating families like family. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of caring, professional funeral services. If you need a funeral home that leads with heart and delivers with excellence, look no further.”

“I cannot say enough positive things about Pridgen funeral home and the care they provided to me and my family during one of the most difficult moments of our lives. Tuawana and her staff were the incredibly compassionate, attentive, and deeply respectful. Tuawana took exceptional care in preparing my mother, thoughtfully incorporating her personal style in a way that truly honored who she was. Seeing her so beautifully prepared brought me comfort and peace, and it was clear that great care and intention went into every detail — even down to the polish chosen for her nails. The casket selection was absolutely perfect—chosen with such care that it complemented my mother’s outfit flawlessly and reflected her elegance (and was also my mom’s favorite color). And the obituary / program design for the service was beautiful and printed on quality paper stock. Many people noted how nice the programs were. Beyond the technical excellence, what stood out most was the humanity. The director was warm, personable, and professional, making us feel supported rather than rushed or overwhelmed. The entire staff treated our family with genuine compassion, patience, and dignity throughout the process. I wholeheartedly recommend this funeral home to anyone seeking thoughtful, respectful, and truly exceptional funeral services.”

Tuawana guided us through every step with warmth, compassion, and professionalism that we will never forget. From the very first conversation, Tuawana treated our family with genuine kindness and understanding. She ensured that every detail was handled with dignity. Her patience, clarity, and heartfelt support brought comfort to us during a time of overwhelming grief. Thanks to Tuawana and the entire Pridgen Funeral Home staff, my mother was honored with the care and respect she deserved. If I could give 10 stars—or even more—I would. Their compassion made an unbearable moment just a little easier to carry.”
