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
“When individuals are charged substantial amounts to hold memorial services, they deserve dignity, patience, and consideration—not to be hurried, dismissed, or pressured under rigid time constraints. The conduct of the staff reflects a profound lack of compassion and professionalism. While the grounds themselves may appear presentable, the management behind them is disturbingly indifferent. Grieving families are denied the space to mourn in their own way, as policies are enforced inconsistently and selectively, depending on who is being assisted and how attentively they choose to listen. Basic facilities are neglected, and the overall demeanor of staff creates an environment that is uncomfortable and emotionally distressing. Regardless of changing times, fundamental human values empathy, respect, and decency should never be compromised”

“I'm so disappointed with the customer service at this establishment! I have been dealing with getting my father's headstone done for over a month, and today I finally was able to get it paid so it can be set. I literally have been trying to pay for it for 6 weeks! Nobody returns calls, email's or answer voicemails. Thanks to Monique who was the best & only person to help me! It's a shame that in this world nobody cares about the customer!”
— Jose Corona
“Thank you for walking me and my family through the loss of my father. You were attentive, sensitive, and so accommodating. Calvary Mortuary is available after-hours , which is when my dad passed away. You provide the service to pick up the body (after hospice pronounced the death). You were respectful of removing him from our home. The pastor for the day of the service was so kind and gentle. Great scriptures read. Just thank you for everything.”
