“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

Thank you, Denise, for your much needed help.”

“We met Denise Lathrop at a lunch and meet. She did a very thorough presentation and answered all of my questions and I had plenty. Very personable woman and knows her business. We set up an appointment and met with her yesterday. We went over all of the options we had discussed previously and we purchased 2 pre-paid plans for our future so our kids don’t have to worry about anything. Denise also gave us cards, laminated to give to our kids so everyone would know who to call when the time is appropriate. Call Denise if you’re considering this. She will take good care of you.”
