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
“John Kuiper was extremely courteous. He was helpful from the start. Any time of day, he would return text messages, always being helpful and polite. Even when my brain was not working, and i had a hard time gathering my thoughts, he always made me feel like i had time to relax, gather my thoughts, etc. He was like a caring father walking me through the process. I appreciate everything the entire team did for my father and our family. I would recommend them - they will connect with you in your greatest time of need….”
