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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“They buried my mother in 1997 and my father in 2008 . Excellent Service with Dignity and Respect”
— Janice Hawkins
“Our family has entrusted Sconiers Funeral Home for years and most recently with the passing of our father, the staff have once again proven to be exceptional. Maurice was not only professional but also very personable. He's to be commended for his willingness to make himself available via phone, text or email even after business hours to answer any questions we had. We are also truly grateful for the kindness and professionalism of Bernard as well. I can't say enough about the dignity, dedication and compassion shown to us in our time of grief. Truly a job well done.”
— Mark Barnes
“Really enjoyed speaking with Katrina Sconiers Chester about my arrangements. We found me my perfect sea grass basket for burial. She knew right away what I meant about a "Green Burial" placing me in a biodegradable "casket". Love that Sconiers has been in business since 1916. I trust Katrina.”
— Theresa El-Amin
