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
“Our mom passed away last week and it has been such a sad and stressful time trying to tie up all the loose ends. Someone recommended A Wise Choice and we met with Daniel today. We were expecting the arrangements to be far more complicated and expensive but we were shocked at how affordable he made it. We thought we were going to be spending $5,000+ but it actually came out to only about $1200 for cremation, 3 urns etc. Definitely not fun planning for after death services but Daniel made it much easier.”
— Jacob Schmidt

The also provided resources for handling funeral plans, keepsake jewelry, support groups, and more. Their prices are very good compared to other funeral homes and I appreciated the location, only a few minutes from where I live. Highly recommend!”
