“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.

“Everyone who helped us prearrange and follow through with our Mothers Funeral were extremely friendly and supportive. They made this difficult process so much easier by making us feel comfortable and allowing us the time needed to make sure we made all the best decisions for our family. Preplanning was definitely the best decision we made and the options they provided were perfect for our Mother’s funeral. We felt very comfortable with everyone and would highly recommend them. Thank you to Bill, Elizabeth and staff for everything.”
