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
“The team at Van Dyke Duven have taken care of many members of my family, including my mother and my father. The team here is amazing to work with and so kind and compassionate as you work through the difficult process of starting to say good-bye to a loved one. Both my parents passed away without having planned their own funeral and the team here was very helpful in planning service that my parents would have been proud of. They certainly go above and beyond in all aspects.”
