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
“We had left the area many years ago and when we needed them for our mother in Florida they took care of everything. Top Notch”
— James Verdon
“Did a great job with my mom Joan Romeo funeral a five star place deserve 10 stars.”
— David Lawerence
“In every way possible, this experience was awful. Not only were the prices of everything beyond high, the person was rude and kept cutting us off when we tried to speak and was trying to rush us through the process. At one point we were discussing wanting an open casket viewing and then cremating after the services (opposed to the urn being at the service). We wanted to do this so people could get a chance to say goodbye and the guy literally said “well they should have done that when she was at the hospital.” WHAT?!?! How dare you assume the circumstances surrounding the death of our loved one?? I don’t know who thought they could get in the funeral business and be so cold hearted but if you’re looking for a funeral home that is going to make grieving a sudden loss of a loved one a little easier THIS IS NOT THE PLACE!! What a disgusting place that preys on people in such a vulnerable state.”
