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.

“Mr. Michael and the entire team at Whalen & Ball have been beyond helpful, comforting and accommodating to me and my family during the worst period of our lives. They made arrangements for us to see our loved one the day before, made beautiful prayer cards for distribution and even provided support and security throughout our events. Whatever extras you may need be it doves or a headstone they have contacts to deliver in a timely manner with empathy and poise. I am grateful for the immense amount of support, love and attentiveness Mr. Michael showed our family. He is someone you would want handling your loved one if the unfortunate reality comes knocking on your door. This is our second time working with him and I hope not to work with him any time soon but if needed he will absolutely be our 1st choice. Thank you Whalen & Ball for taking care of us. If you are reading this and debating where to take your loved one look no further call them now. They will treat you with love and respect.”
