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 don’t have enough nice things to say about the team here. I’m not sure how this team does it dealing with people coping with sadness day to day. From start to finish, everyone was so kind. We had the good fortune to work with Mary. She was like long time family friend. She was patient, respectful, heard us out, made sure we were well informed, and most of all so compassionate during a difficult time. We are extremely grateful to everyone for their kindness and compassion.”
— Emilio Mendez
“Jason was fantastic about staying in touch and keeping me updated. Mary was very patient and helpful when dealing with getting info for the death certificate. At a time when everything seemed hard to handle they helped in lightening the load.”
— Dustin Carnes
“Mary and Polly made things very easy for my sister and I as we made final arrangements after our dad passed away. We truly appreciate the compassion and kindness they showed during a very difficult time.”
