“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

“In a time of sadness and stress every person we spoke to or dealt with following our Aunts passing were so compassionate, patient, respectful and kind. We live out of state so it was even more important to have a funeral home that communicated effectively. They were wonderful and made sure we were part of every decision regarding details.”
