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
“Not owned by the Harris family anymore. Now owned by the man who owns the beacon chain of funeral homes all over western Michigan. Now yet another funeral home swallowed up by the Beacon funeral home corp. I used Harris for when my wife died and when my brother died. Bill Harris was great. I will really miss the local touch of a caring neighbor and wonderful community member Bill and also his father was. Change the name, that would be the honest thing to do. Build your own reputation instead of using someone else's reputation!!”
