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
“Our family can not even begin to thank Steve, Rachel and the entire staff for the loving care they gave to us during the death of my beloved husband, 'Doc' Tom, and dad, brother, cousin, uncle, and friend to so many! In the middle of a snow storm....from the visitation, and amazing video one night, to the beautiful Mass and service the following day, we did not have to think about anything...each question was always answered with 'we will take care of it'.... During this most difficult time in our lives, they were there to make things easier...Thank you from the bottom of our hearts...our family is eternally grateful for the wonderful care you gave us....
