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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Managing a parents death and burial is tough. Tougher when mom was in FL when she passed and needing to be buried in Montrose, MN. I didnt have to do a thing! Colleen, Kevin and staff handled our anxiety and endless questions by email and calls (some frantic) with patience and expertise. From funeral pre-planning in 2015 to the burial in 2024- they stayed true to their all inclusive approach. Very grateful. Thanks so much. Debbie Hayes family.”
