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
“A really wonderful, family run home that took good care of my grandfather and father's arrangements and service. We thank them for their kind approach.”
— Shaun Aukland
“My husband Steve passed away in March 2023. We worked with Duke, Tom, Joe and Charlie. They all were very respectful compassionate and helpful while we planned and executed the service and internment. We had a beautiful service- everything we asked for and it was perfect. They helped us plan and navigate through the process and were available to answer questions and be of assistance even weeks after it’s conclusion. Can’t say enough good things about them!”
— Rita Klinkhammer
