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.

What Families Say
“It's my first visit to see my mom in her new home at the Teresian House. It's really nice. Her room is lovely. I sat with her while she ate lunch, Chicken Marsala with mashed potatoes and peas. It was real chicken, and she loved it. She is now at PT for an hour then we will go outside for some sun. Tomorrow the Physical Therapist is going to teach/show me how to put her in and out of the car. Then we are going for a ride in the mountains. I think this its a really noice place, teh staff has been very helpful and they are all really nice and welcoming.”
— John Paradiso
“I was there to visit a dear friend. My first impression was, this is a big place. Upon entering I was impressed how comfortable it is. Clean, in good taste decorated and very accessible. The chapel is delightfully bright and inviting. Teresia house has definitely raised the standard of nursing homes. All the people, staff and residents seem happy and very friendly.”
— Inga Pepoy
“I am always impressed by the warm, welcoming environment throughout the facility. Staff members—Hakeem, Judy, and others—are engaged and attentive to my father’s needs in a way that reflects genuine care. I greatly appreciate the quarterly updates and oversight provided by Sister Michelle and Dianna. My father is truly in good hands.”
