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
“Our entire week of working with Sam was a comforting, gently guided, personalized experience. She had a sincere interest in knowing who our son was and used those details to go above and beyond in how she helped us create a beautiful service to honor him. She joined the many many people in our community who are a balm for our grief as we mourn the sudden and unexpected death of our precious son.”
— Karen Bell
“Even under the tragic circumstances that led us there, I'm so glad that we chose to go through The Goss Life Celebration Home. I could not imagine having gone through any part of this experience without their funeral director, Amanda. She was unbelievably helpful, patient, kind and knowledgeable. From the littlest things to the biggest, she made it so much less overwhelming and really went out of her way to make sure that we were happy with everything. Everyone that works there was wonderful and did an outstanding job of making it a little more bearable of an experience.”
— Brittanny Barrows
“I've had the misfortune of dealing with these kind folk on too many occasions to remember. They're always kind and gentle in the situations surrounding our visits and buisness. These men are truly angels.”
