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
“The ground is so beautiful and the location couldn’t be more fitting for our soldiers, it’s a great place to reflect at our history and the sacrifices so many have given. The cemetery overlooks the Golden Gate Bridge, Cristy Field and the bay below. I came here by walking, wonder if parking would be an issue on weekends?”
— Jesse Lee
“On Memorial Day - The San Francisco National Cemetery was dressed by the Boy & Girl Scouts with the American Flag for all to see over the next few days! Please take time to enjoy the photos. A Special Thanks to those who decorated the area in Memory of lost & loved ones!”
— Art USA
“A humbling place to come and reflect, or just to get a sense of history and understanding of the impact of war, and its outcomes. The fallen here have a beautiful resting place, with a fabulous view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Thought provoking and beautifully managed.”
