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.

“Have experienced services here both as guest and as the one who had to plan for family. The owners are the most kind, caring, sensitive, out going, respectful and professional folks I have ever met. From the second you step in the door you become family and in morning that means more than they will ever know. The home is set up very nice and is spotless. They are in no way pushy as to what you purchase and are so very helpful. Recommend this funeral home 100%.”
