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
“Dave I want to say THANK YOU! Your professionalism, approach, and compassion were in all our interactions and in the care you gave my mother. She looked beautiful and peaceful. Your attention to detail is remarkable... truly. You listened and delivered more than we expected. I am forever grateful to you for making this experience easier than I ever imagined. I can not thank you enough. She arrived to NYC in perfect condition and the funeral home there said they did not have to do anything to her for the viewing there. Thank you again, Sandy”
— Sandy Nieves
“David thank you so much for assisting me with the passing of my father. I came from out of town and was unsure of who to call but your professionalism and care helped this dark experience be a little easier to deal with. I would recommend David to anyone who has lost a loved one.”
— Oneill Martinez
“Parking is across the street to the left of the fire house not behind the funeral home. Or take your chances parking on amherst street. Needs to be said.”
— Bob Weber
