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
“Very nice cemetery, with some really old stones. You can tell that they are working on cleaning it up from the winter season. Many old carvings, lilac bushes, tall monuments, vaults, and wonderful carvings. Went here for the first time today- won't be the last.”
— Theresa St. John
“This is a very beautiful cemetery in Schenectady ny but you may only visit during the day, there are no trespassing signs here and cameras and you will be arrested by police if you are caught trespassing in this park in the dark, just a heads up.”
— Christopher Lentakis
