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
“I cannot say enough about the exceptional service provided by Leak and Sons Funeral Home during one of the most difficult times of my life. Handling arrangements from another state made an already heartbreaking situation feel even more overwhelming — but Mr. Spencer Leak Jr went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled seamlessly and with the utmost care. Every detail was managed efficiently through text and email, which was incredibly accommodating given my circumstances. The communication was prompt, professional, and compassionate throughout the entire process. Leak and Sons turned what could have been an incredibly stressful experience into one that was as smooth and peaceful as possible. For that, I am truly and deeply grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of caring, reliable, and accommodating funeral services.”
