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
“There are very nice people & has done my dad & grandparents & now my uncle. I think their prices are a bit higher than others but they do a good job & that’s important to families.”
— Kenneth Cabral
“In a time of loss which funeral home you choose can be a challenging decision. I was at first told not to go with this funeral service regarding price. In desperation, I decided to follow through with choosing this service. Although my experience was decent and the staff was for the most part kind and helpful, shortly after everything was said and done I began receiving emails stating the remaining due payment. They told me there was no rush with getting the payment handled. That soon began to be a lie. Even after the payment being fully covered (within the same year), I still began to receive emails stating they never received full payment ( under 1000$) I was then basically threatened that they would go further and take it to higher ups even though "they would hate to see that happen" I remained professional, took screenshots and replied to all emails to then check back into my emails to find that any previous messages back and forth with the funeral home and funeral director had been "blocked". This was my first funeral I had ever had to put together and did everything like they asked for. Because of this I will no longer be going to them for funeral service help and I will also not be referring ANYONE to this funeral home. I strongly believe that all they care for is the money. Not to mention even though I asked for light music to be played during the service, I arrived to a silent and very sad scene. With all this being said, be sure to pick the very best service for your loved ones and be aware of the scams that might follow.”

I never left a review before, but because Tom and his staff were incredible, im leaving a review. it was a difficult time for us and what we had to deal with,and Tom and his staff made our experience less painful. I highly recommend them.”
