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.

“Me and family are so very grateful for Joseph Ratterman, It was a very stressful and overwhelming time for us since it was our very first time dealing with arrangments. He was able to work with and help guide us through the process. We would have not known what to do if it wasn't for Joseph. Very friendly and professional. I appreciate everything they did!”
— Shayne Bolton
“Joey and his team could not have done a better job with my father's funeral. They were timely and professional but above all empathetic to the requests everystep of the way. My father would have appreciated every detail and the respect that J Rattermans on Southside gave to honor his passing and details to his funeral. Thank you to Owen for his kindess and to each and every professional. There should be no other choice but Rattermans for your loved ones closure. They are a 6th generation locally owned family funeral homes and their compassion reflects that. God Bless Joey and all!”
