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
“Majority of my family has passed through Alamo Funeral Home. This past week it was my mom's turn. I was very comfortable with Mel and Yolanda. They all were serviceable. Any question I had they were able to guide me. My mom made these arrangements years ago. I was very pleased with everyone. They were professional and calming. I know it isn't one of the most luxurious places on the outside but the chapel where people gather is well kept. The white limos were beautiful. I can't say enough about how I felt they helped us through this part of life's journey. BTW, Yolanda made my mom look so beautiful.”
