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.

What Families Say
“Unfortunately, my experience with this funeral home as a neighbor has been very negative. The owner regularly places cones in public parking spaces, including in front of unrelated buildings, with no parking permits. When residents move the cones to legally park, he responds with hostility, including leaving threatening notes. You can decide if you want to do business with this type of person.”
— Maria Torres
“I can’t thank Jerry, Maryann, Yvette and their whole team for giving Dad the best most respectful and celebratory send off. Thank you so much!!”
— Scot Allan
“Jerry and Ivette are both beautiful inside and out. They did services for; my dad, mother in law, my husband, and now this wk my mother.- Jamaica plain Ma”
