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 attended the showing and service for my uncle last night. Several things really put me off. Most funeral homes I've been to have dishes of mints or candies... none here. There was a coffee pot in back... but no coffee made. Only "refreshment" was a water dispenser with little Dixie cups. My uncle's makeup not only looked terrible, but it was caked in his hairline and sideburns. Lastly, a hymn that has been special for our family for decades, "On Eagle's Wings" was played at the conclusion of the service. How? On the funeral director's cell phone while he held a microphone up to it at the podium! I would not recommend this place to anyone. It was hard enough dealing with our unexpected and tremendous loss, it felt as though they weren't even trying. Very disappointing.”

“There was a very large turnout for my Father-in-Law's funeral last week. It was touching and showed just how loved he was. While the gentleman running the proceedings was very nice, there were several things that really fell through the cracks. The funeral Director should have been wearing a suit coat while overseeing the event in the funeral home and his overcoat that he wore to the graveside needs hemmed and the button sewn back on. It looked really unprofessional. The sitting room desperately needed dusted and the children's room was REALLY cold! As annoying as those things were, the WORST thing was that they did not get the military aspect addressed. There was no flag anywhere and no graveside military honors. Instead, he blamed "a flag shortage". They dropped the ball on simply calling the VFW or Legion to assist with the Veteran's burial. This was sad since the deceased was very proud of his service to his country. The family members will hopefully focus on the love and amazing stories that were shared by the mourners and not dwell on the sloppiness of the service provided by Dusckas-Martin. The deceased deserved better though.”

“Jack and everyone at Dusckas Martin Funeral home are great to work with. I bought a hearse from them that they no longer needed. Jack was fair to deal with and prompt in his communication. Would highly recommend considering Dusckas Martin for your funeral or crematory needs.”
