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
“I can’t thank Eric and Jeff enough for being so caring and so helpful in such a difficult time. They treat you like family. Eric always responded to me so quickly. They are well organized and just easy to work with. Thank you so much!”
— Maria Silva
“I can never thank Jeff and Eric enough for all of their help during the time of my father’s passing. All of the staff are some of the most compassionate, respectful, accommodating people I have ever met. They have made the process seamless for us during this difficult time and I am forever grateful.”
— Jordan Huerta
“Eric was amazing to work with. Coming off of one of the worst nights of our lives and with little to no sleep, he was so patient and kind as he led us through all our different options and decisions we had to make to bury my dad. We never felt at anytime that he was trying to up charge us or talk us into options that financially benefited them. He got the insurance company on the line and handled all the death benefits and payment through them. As if he hadn’t done enough, he helped us design and order the headstone and then followed us to the cemetery. There he patiently walked around to help us find the perfect spot for his burial. At the last minute, we asked to make a change to our graveside service, and he was immediately accommodating and took care of every detail, staying until the very end to make sure we didn’t need anything. Hopefully we don’t need their services again anytime soon, like Eric said “hope to see you at Walmart” and not back here, but we certainly know where we will go.”
