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
“An excellent experience overall. Entry was free and we only needed to book our tour time slot in advance. Street parking can be challenging on busy days. Our docent was very knowledgeable and helped us pay attention to all historical details during the house tour; it was quite immersive! The gift shop is very cute with all listed merch prices inclusive of taxes. If you've never visited, I highly recommend that you check this house out. It's worth it.”
— Arunabha Mitra
“What a wonderful experience. Our tour guide/historian was Judith. She was absolutely amazing. She truly took us back to the Victorian Era! I pictured myself in many of the rooms throughout the tour. Especially, the dining room! My two teenaged daughters were even enthralled by Judith's story telling of Catharine Bettner. The gift shop is so adorable and is a must visit as well!”
— Deborah Lynn
“We had a wonderful experience touring this beautiful Victorian house, great job preserving it and allowing us a window into that era... Margaret did an amazing job explaining the history and provided tons of information as well as leading our tour. We will definitely come back in the near future to experience other programs, by the way, there is no charge for the tour but they gracefully accept donations. Thank you for reading my review.”
