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
“I used Stradford Funeral Home for my beloved Mother, Shirley Valz. My mother was transported to the US from Canada and Stradford handled all required documentation to enable a smooth burial. I am very pleased with their service. They were affordable. I did not need much done (just burial). Maritza Rivera, was professional and informative. She assisted me with the right cemetery that would meet my needs. So happy I chose a location that appears to be more of a, "mom and pops" location verses a much more renowned Funeral Home on Staten Island. Note, that this is a smaller funeral home so if you are looking for an elaborate location then you may consider one of the more expensive funeral homes. Thank you.”
— Mrs. Diop
“Stradford deserves more than 5 stars! The entire staff is filled with compassion and that is what's most needed when you lose a loved one. They were so helpful with the entire process which is not easy to deal with. It was comforting to know that my mother was in good hands.”
— Crystal G
“I would like to thank everyone at the Stradford Funeral Home. My late husband Joseph Newman looked very at-peace in the end. The staff members were prompt and very helpful throughout the process. Thank you Maritza, Lynell, and everyone that was part of the process. I wouldn’t recommend another funeral home other than Stradford Funeral Home to handle funeral arrangements.”
— Katrina D. Newman
