“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.

“During one of the hardest times our family has ever faced, this funeral home treated us with genuine compassion and respect. They handled every detail with care, patience, and professionalism, which allowed us to focus on honoring my brother rather than worrying about logistics. The staff was kind, attentive, and never rushed us. They explained everything clearly and were always available to answer questions, no matter how small. The service itself was beautiful and dignified, and we’re deeply grateful for the way they helped us say goodbye. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs support and guidance during such a difficult moment.”

The funeral home is very bright and accepting, which is very helpful when experiencing grief if a loved one. The staff was readily available to assist with any and all of our needs at any time. They have even followed up with me more than once and have provided resources for guidance, if needed, in dealing with our grief. Could not have been more pleased and satisfied with this funeral home, their staff and their services.”
