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
“I just wanted to express our gratitude for making this process so easy and worry free. I have to admit I was super skeptical that you were so much less expensive than all the other options around. However after reviewing your website and asking several questions, I felt more than comfortable using your company to care for my father. I am so impressed with the compassion Myself and my family was shown that I wanted to write this review. Your customer service is impeccable, your timeliness is amazing, and your compassion and sincerity is genuine. Thank you August for an awesome experience at a most difficult time in our lives. God Bless! April Lehman, Bill Best Jr., & Jame Best Sent from my iPhone”

“August is a very kind & patient person. I had questions, numerous times! Every time, August answered & was happy to help. We used Family Care Cremation to do my grandmother's arrangements in April 2018 & now July 2018 her son, my dad, has passed away. 2018 has been rough, but God forbid we should need these services again, we'll definitely be calling August!”
