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.

“I was a little nervous about choosing this mortuary based off reviews. But Thompson Bay View Mortuary went beyond our expectations. We went from viewing one loved one to having my husband service in a matter of weeks. Mr.Thompson and Pastor Evens was extremely polite and professional at all times. Mr.Thompson sat with me while I came to set with the makeup artist. Never once rushed us. Every aspect from beginning to end was explained to us and all questions were answered in timely fashion. And I may add my husband looked amazing even before makeup was applied, they grooming was on point. I’m extremely pleased with the serve and I would recommend them.”
