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.

“We had my mother cremated, then we asked if we could have a viewing, just for friends and relatives to pay respects. We assumed at the viewing the director would host but that was not the case. We also asked for a priest, the priest showed up at the viewing and had no clue who the person was. They never contacted us nor put an effort. Would I recommend this funeral home. No they are unprofessional, and procrastinate through the process.”
— Jason Dejesus-Cruz
“Robert was friendly and always willing to clarify any questions at any time. He and his team took care of the entire process, in other words from A to Z. This was not the best moment in my life but Robert handled it in a professional and ethical manner. very grateful for the services and the way they made everything possible.”
