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
“Bedell-Pizzo Funeral Home made the most difficult time of my life so much easier. Paul, Karen, Paulie and their family were so kind and always available to answer any questions. They handled everything for me and gave my mother a beautiful service. I live out of state and was unable to handle things in person prior to the day of the service and they made sure all my wishes were met. I can’t say enough about how fantastic of an experience I had using Bedell-Pizzo. Very compassionate people.”
