Ask whether assignment is available for your policy and location, what fees apply, and what you must pay upfront. MedaSynq does not arrange assignments.

“My family has used Pumphrey’s in the past, so it was the first place I called when my father passed away. The woman I talked to couldn’t answer my questions, so they transferred me to someone at a different location. The person who talked to me made me feel inadequate for not understanding the rules/regulations for transporting my father’s body across state lines (I’m not an expert, that’s why I’m calling you). The conversation was that of a typical “car salesman” and that’s the last thing you need when you just lost a loved one. After that, I immediately called another funeral home that a friend had recommended. I’m so glad I did!!! I dodged a bullet for sure. I definitely wouldn’t recommend Pumphrey’s.”
