“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.

“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Gates to Heaven Funeral Home. During one of the hardest times in my life, they made everything so smooth and effortless. They took care of every single detail with compassion, respect, and professionalism. I didn’t have to worry about a thing — they handled it all like family would. It’s never easy to go through something like this, but they truly made it as peaceful as it could be. I hope I never have to go through this kind of loss again, but if I ever do, this is the only place I’d trust.”

“Mr. Hassan and Mr. Crown at the Gate to Heaven Funeral Home were tremendous help to me this past week for my cousin's funeral. These two gentlemen, are very knowledgeable, compassionate, understanding and extremely kind. I found out, in a short notice, I had to transport my cousin's body from Florida to Michigan for Islamic burial and I didn't know anyone or a anyplace to go to. I found them on the internet and contacted them about what I needed. Mr. Hassan and Mr. Crown helped with the entire process and made sure every thing that I needed for the funeral was taken care of. I highly recommend them and if I need any funeral help in the future, they would be the people that I would go to. Thank you Mr. Hassan & Mr. Crown. God bless you! Dr. Sassan Tarahomi”
