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 set up a contract with them for my mom. It was easy and Mike explained everything and exactly what to expect. The cost was clear. Mike was truly helpful and even flexible with when I could come by to make changes or additions. They are moving to Fairfield to partner up with another funeral home this month of July 2023, but any contracts are still honored. It's a blessing knowing everything is set up, so when the time comes i don't have the added stress of getting things in order on top of grieving. Thank you, Mike”
