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.

“So kind and patient. Worked with us to get all the options and information we needed. It seems to be a family business, which I like. I called another place first and the phone was answered by and automated system with several options to choose from. I hung up and when I called this place, a lovely woman answered, which I really appreciated. They also offered the option of texting with them, which was very convenient for quick communication. I highly recommend this funeral home as your best choice to help you with your arrangements for your loved one.”
