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
“Erickson-Hansen Funeral Home always does an excellent job! Peter and his staff are always compassionate and concerned about their clients!!! All the gentleman directing traffic were very kind. Mr. Sagarino and the young man working with him were very helpful by showing me the easiest way to get my mother into the building. (My mother was in a wheelchair.) I especially want to thank Karen Sagarino. From the beginning to the end Karen Sagarino gave special attention to my mother's needs and was always assisting me. She is very compassionate! You are excellent! You all get an A+!”

“Erickson-Hansen Funeral Home guided us with grace and dignity in providing such a beautiful home going for our loved one- a daughter, a mother, a grandmother, a sister, an aunt, a cousin, a niece,, a granddaughter, a friend, a beautiful soul! They were very accommodating and compassionate during our worst nightmare while we planned unexpected last minute services. Monique was so compassionate and personable. She provided a sense of comfort in getting to know my sister so we could feel some ease during the process. The staff worked together to ensure the home going service was beautiful. Trying to sum up the life of such a beautiful soul in a paragraph was the most difficult and heart wrenching thing. Monique helped to get us started and after it was posted, filled with anxiety as I went to read it online my first glance to my surprise made my heart cry as I saw just how personable they were. They added a special touch that was unique to my sister, a pair of sneakers to the background of her obituary because we mentioned how much she loved sneakers…at that point I knew just how compassionate they were! We express our deepest gratitude. Sincerely, The Singleton family”

“So glad we chose this place my younger relative who passed. They did an incredible job. They kept us updated with everything and they guided us through the whole difficult process of planning an unexpectant funeral. This is a family owned business which honestly changes my concept of family own funeral homes, as they truly care about the families, and their professional business reputation. Thank you Peter, Nancy and the rest of the staff! you all are amazing, professional and kind beyond words.”
