“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.

“I cannot say enough good things about Alicia Williams and the care she provided as our funeral director. During one of the most difficult times of my life—planning my mother’s funeral—Alicia made the entire process feel much more manageable and peaceful. She was incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate, and she explained everything clearly, making the planning process easy to understand and stress-free. Alicia was always available to answer questions, offered thoughtful guidance, and truly listened to what our family wanted. Her professionalism and genuine care showed in every detail. Thanks to Alicia, we felt supported every step of the way, and my mother’s service was handled beautifully and with dignity. I am deeply grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a funeral director who truly cares. Thank you!! ❤️”

“I received excellent information and guidance throughout this whole procedure. It is not something an individual goes through on a daily basis so I was lucky enough to have a person that cared to deal with. Marcia was my helper and more than just a consultant. she was a dear person. She’s very informed very detailed, professional and kind. I enjoyed the whole experience with her. Well, you don’t stay in business for over 100 years and not have something good going for you.”
