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.

“I highly recommend Tori with Grissoms Mortuary. She was kind, professional and very patient. The mortuary did a wonderful job on my loved one. He looked so handsome and happy, which made me feel better seeing how peaceful he looked. Thank you to everyone at Grissom's Chapel and Mortuary for everything. PS, it's very clean and they have the best chocolate covered peppermints.”

“No one is ever fully prepared to navigate death and all that happens after your loved one passes. Even if you think you are ready or prepared, there is so much the average person doesn’t know about next steps. I was beyond grateful for Tori - the support and kindness she extended to me as I was trying to figure things out, was incredible! She put in extra time and effort to assist me and my sister. Her knowledge, understanding, and patience for families that are struggling with this process gave me peace and comfort in knowing everything would work out…and it did. She was amazing and I am so thankful.”
— Paula Cason
