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.

“The service that you receive here is nothing short of being FAMILY. The moment you make that call or open the door you are wrapped in loving arms and compassion. The care that they give you in the beginning to even weeks after is unpresidential to anything that I've ever experienced. I saw that it wasn't just for my situation but for everyone that I saw come in or hear on the phone. They are not just workers they are the FAMILY that you need at a time when it's hard for others to be there for you because of their own grief and heartache .They are AMAZING at what they do. THEY TRULY ARE BLESSING FROM OUR LORD💕🙏”
