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
“Such a beautiful experience using Lotz funeral home to say goodbye to my husband. Kyle Emerich may be the kindest and most patient director in the business. He encouraged us to make choices we wanted....no pressure at all. The funeral was perfect thanks to Kyle and his staff. Stunning flowers and a beautiful casket. Payment isn't rushed....we were given time to grieve. Thanks Kyle and Lotz for all you did for us!”
