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
“Absolutely a disheartening experience with them. Not getting into all the details, but their “pre-planning so your loved ones don’t have to worry about it” is a total joke. My father would have been so disappointed in what his family was left to deal with on the financial side, even though we had a receipt that said “paid in full”. After my father passed and we had such a negative experience with them, we pulled my mothers’s funeral pre-planning arrangements from them and went elsewhere. Do not trust them!”
— Kris Koeppen
“I haven't done any business with the funeral home themselves, but the cemetery and park around it are amazing. It is a gorgeous area with pretty swans, flowers, and memorial pieces everywhere. Would be a nice place to even just walk or visit. Very well-maintained. Good area to enjoy local wildlife in the heart of the city.”
— Grace Pfeifle
“I've known the owner John linge for several years he did our grandpa's funeral service John lingerie and his team care of our grandpa with dignity and respect”
