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 called to make cremation arrangements for my dog earlier this week. The lady said they could, all I needed to do was drop my dog at the Mansfield location and she even said she would call them to let them know I was coming the next day. Well I came from Seville(53 mins away) with a 90lb dethawing dog to be told they don’t do pet cremation anymore. I was so upset because it was later in the day and I didn’t where to go from there other then taking my pup home and some how putting her in my chest freezer.”
