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

“We are so grateful for Newcomer Denver in Lakewood. Alexander was so kind and attentive and so good at what he does. We felt supported, and Alexander always got back to us in a timely manner regarding our questions. My loved ones service was beautiful and heartfelt, led by Pastor Paul Berg who Newcomer referred us to. You can tell it is his calling and though he didn’t know my loved one, he made sure to listen to all we had to say about her to make her service personal to who she was. The celebration of her life was everything we hoped it would be to honor her right. ”
