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
“Handled the funeral for my mother adequately. Seriously failed in patiently helping with obtaining death certificate from another state ("... don't know how Virginia works..."). I was forced to defer to their methods in getting ANY information on death certificate process, something I would have handled myself if I could. Now they won't help with cemetery concerns. I guess since I'm paid up, they consider their obligations complete.”
— Pierre Smith
“Gagnon and Costello recently handled the services of my father-in-law. The staff are so professional and handled every detail with great care and attention. They are wonderful to work with. We were very glad to that we had chosen Gagnon and Costello. We will definitely use their services in the future, when the need arises.”
— Toni-Marie LaFollette
“One of the brothers was very kind. The other was rude and made me feel like a burden in a difficult time. I would not recommend. There are plenty of other choices in the area. Would never choose here if I was the one arranging things. To each their own though.”
— Miranda Snell
