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.

“At a very devastating time I am comforted knowing how well my 15 year old dog Harley was cared for. I called with some questions and requests which they answered with compassion. I wanted to be absolutely sure I was receiving the correct ashes and they put my mind at ease and explained the process. Once he was cremated, they got him back to me as soon as possible. I appreciate the communication they provided me during this time. The box is very nice and I wasn’t expecting his name engraved on the top which was a nice surprise. The paw prints are really good quality as well. Everything was put together neatly. Thank you so much for taking care of my best friend ❤️🩹”

“I appreciate the professionalism and compassion of this team. I don't have many details because it's hard to sit with the fact that we needed them. But, the flower wood urn was great-felt like Yuna is resting with flowers. I appreciate that they asked if they spelled Yuna's name correctly. The paw print in clay + nose print (in paper) were great...the nose print showed some of her fur so it was almost like seeing her face. They offered to transfer the ash into a third party necklace if I get one for free, when I asked how to open the box. And they showed me how to open the box. Everything was packaged thoughtfully.”

“We’re very grateful for the care and thoughtfulness shown during the aftercare for our cat, who had been with us for 14 years. The staff communicated clearly and with genuine care throughout the process, and they took the time to address every question and concern we had. During a very emotional time for our family, their professionalism and compassion made a real difference. We truly appreciate the support and would highly recommend them.”
