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
“In this truly beautiful resting place, my dear father — who fled the war in our homeland and never found peace there — has finally found his eternal peace. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the staff of the columbarium for their warmth, care, patience, and calm support toward me, a foreigner who does not speak English, and for their kind assistance in completing all the burial arrangements. My special thanks go to Alan Chu, Family Service Counselor, for his kindness, compassion, and outstanding professionalism. This place radiates a deep sense of serenity and peace. I have seen columbaria in different countries, but this one is truly exceptional — a place of dignity, beauty, and heartfelt reverence for those who have passed. My deepest and endless gratitude to everyone who helps preserve this sacred tranquility.”
— Nataliia “NSH” Chernysh
