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.

“My family and I were most happy with the services offered by the Spicer-Mullikin Funeral Home in Newark. My husband was 87 when he died, and had lived a full and productive life. We wanted to honor him and all of his accomplishments with the kind of funeral he wished to have. Spicer-Mullikin succeeded in delivering what was requested! His body was prepared as he wished.We were able to have an intimate private viewing before the casket was closed and covered with his flag. The service was low keyed and dignified, as he was. The surroundings are lovely, like a beautiful antique home. It turned out exactly as we had wished it would. The funeral home personnel were wonderful. We especially appreciate the work of the funeral director, Mitch Jackson, who was very supportive in handling all of our requests. It turned out to be exactly what we had wanted.”
