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.

“The staff at Groce funeral home was very helpful in planning my father’s memorial service. They were very responsive to my questions and also very accommodating. They were quick to get things planned for the service while I was in another state. I can not thank them enough for their help during this difficult time.”
— Kathleen Wise
“Groce Funeral Home has been a well known business since I was a little girl. As an adult I have been to many services at Groce. Just recently I have worked with the staff for my Father and Aunt’s deaths. Everyone that I encountered were all very helpful and supportive, with all of my questions. They understood the importance of the communication for the details of my needs. They also keep in contact even months after the death of your loved ones. Just to make sure you are still important mentally and try to provide options to help you cope. I deeply appreciate all they have helped me and my family through during a very difficult time. I will continue to use them again when the time comes in the future.”
