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
“Visiting the Grand Lodge of Texas in Waco is both impressive and educational. The building itself has a sense of history and grandeur, with beautiful architecture that reflects its importance as the headquarters of Freemasonry in Texas. The lodge is well-kept, and the grounds are peaceful, making it a dignified setting for such a historic institution. Inside, you’ll find displays and artifacts that showcase the long tradition of Masonry in the state. For those interested in history, architecture, or civic organizations, it’s a meaningful stop. The lodge also has a library and museum that provide insight into how Freemasons have influenced both local and state history. The staff and members are welcoming and knowledgeable, willing to answer questions and share the significance of the space. While it’s not a typical “tourist attraction,” it offers a unique perspective into a part of Texas history that many people overlook. If you’re in Waco and enjoy exploring cultural and historical landmarks, the Grand Lodge of Texas is worth a visit. It’s more about reflection and heritage than entertainment, but it leaves a lasting impression of tradition and community.”

“It was a really beautiful building. I went there back in 2022, and I liked seeing the York Rite and Masonic youth group displays and got a grand masters coin and Masonic library and museum coin from the tour back in August of 2022.”
— Rob Fleischer
“Great place for Texas Masons to meet and mason’s from around the world. As the oldest fraternal order in the world, it is very welcoming to all brothers and those who might also be interested in masonry.”
