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.

“We unfortunately lost our daughter after an 18 week pregnancy, and were referred to Kendal Wade Funeral Home to handle her remains. From my first interaction with them, they have been nothing but the height of compassion. Their kindness and generosity through this traumatic event has been so healing for our family. They even included a cute bear and a personalized sweater when they hand-delivered her cremains today (!!). I feel very seen and just so grateful to this incredible business.”
