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
“Sadly my father passed away yesterday and in less than 24 hours the midtown team for Van Orsdel helped me organize the pick up of my father at his residence to walking us through the steps for cremation. Frank helped us with the paperwork and next steps. He was kind and very thoughtful. Treated us like people and not just dollar signs. I can't recommend this place enough. Really helped take some of the hard work off my plate.”
