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 received exceptional service during a difficult time. My mother passed away a month ago, and they have shown remarkable patience regarding the payment as the insurance from the funeral home took longer than expected. Not only have they been outstanding professionals, but they've also displayed genuine kindness and empathy. They handled my mother's body with the utmost care and respect. Kevin and his wife displayed unwavering support, even in the face of a language barrier. Their kindness truly transcended words. However, what truly touched my heart was that they returned her ashes to me well before the insurance payment was settled. They ensured my mother wasn't left in a cold box for a month. I'm genuinely grateful for this establishment and wholeheartedly recommend it without reservation.”
— Carolina Cobeña
“This is the 2nd family member that Florida Cremation Society has taken care of for our family, and not only where they very professional, but they were also very compassionate. They were amazing with helping to fulfill my dad and moms final wishes. Kevin, Buddy and the rest of the staff were very helpful and did everything they promised in timely matter. I highly recommend them.”
— Jeffrey Pianis
“These people were great. I didn't even get to meet or see any of them but Kevin and that is only when I picked up my mom. Melissa was excellent. I didn't have to make but one trip there, we did everything over the phone which saved me a lot of time and gas. I would recommend them to everybody. They answer you in prompt time, they are very compassionate when it comes to their customers, and they make your grieving time a lot better because they do most of it for you. Thank you Kevin and Melissa for everything.”
