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
“At sad times, when support and guidance are needed, you can rely on Eaton Funeral Home in Needham. We used Eaton for the memorials of both our parents, and the arrangements were handled deftly and with elegance. Bob Timmerman organized everything so well that were able to focus on family and friends, which made for a more meaningful experience. We thank Bob and the staff at Eaton for their help when it was most acutely required.”
— Corinne Troiano
“Honestly, I never thought that I would be in search of funeral services within a five month period, but I was. Our family was faced with the death of our “Ma” in June and in November, we lost our Dad. 2021 was a difficult year for our family, but we found someone to lean on when we phoned the Eaton Funeral Home. From the very start, Skip was empathetic and so very helpful as we navigated the funeral process. His expertise was truly appreciated as we planned services for our parents. I think that the thing that I appreciated most was Skip’s and his team’s sensitivity to what we were going through. There was no pressure to make choices quickly; we were given options and plenty of time to “think about” how we wanted to honor our parents. Skip gave us the impression that he truly cared about our losses (He did!) and that he was there to get us through these tough times. I cannot thank him enough for his kindness and guidance during this past year.”

“The folks at Eaton Funeral Home (and in particular, Kevin Greene), were kind and so helpful in the planning of my mother's funeral arrangements. They took care of so many of the details and were meticulous in every decision made on our behalf. I really can't say enough about how easy they made this difficult process and were available almost immediately with a response to our requests. They clearly are dedicated to their work.”
