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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“When my father passed away, the moment I reached out to Shawn he went above and beyond to make an incredibly difficult time easier by offering so much support. Both Shawn and Heather guided me step by step with all the planning and fine details, focusing on what and how they could best support me through this hard time. They were always available and never made me feel rushed. They explained everything very well - They were so kind and patient, they listened to what mattered the most and made sure every detail was perfect- Heather told me when making the folders that she would change them 100 times until we got it “perfect” - I'm glad we didn't actually need to change them 100 times, but she did change them a few times until they were exactly what I wanted. :) She did amazing work with these and the video, making sure they reflected my dad perfectly. Everything turned out better than I expected. I am so grateful for the compassion, professionalism, and genuine care they showed my family. I would most definitely 100x over again recommend them to anyone looking for a place that truly supports you from start to finish. They were seriously the BEST!”
