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 personally want to thank Gallants Funeral Home for the excellent job they did with Lisa's passing at the hospital, wake and funeral services. They were very caring and did everything in their power to make our experience in our time of grief go as smoothly as possible. Their staff was top notch and I highly recommend them for your future services. Thanks again Dana and staff.👏”
— Randall Gagne
“It has been 6 years this May 16th, 2020 that my father, LTC Don G. Harris, USAF, and a 45 year neighbor of the Gallant Funeral Home, passed away at the age of 81. The staff of Gallant Funeral Home was attentive to the needs of my wife and myself during our greatest time of sorrow. John Gallant, proprietor at the time, and current owner Dana McInnis, made a difficult time in our lives much more manageable for us both. I wish for families to consider this when choosing and entrusting a funeral home to carry out the wishes of a departed loved one, and their surviving families: do you prefer a firm who's accountable to you as a grieving family member, or would you rather have a competitive corporate firm whose vested interest is in its national stock holders' financial portfolio?”
— Brice Harris
“Dana had a everything organized for the funeral of my mother, and we didn't have to worry about a thing. A good family owned business. They have our family business for future times. They made it so comfortable”
