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
“Was at a relative funeral yesterday,8/2/2025. One of the workers for this funeral home, she was a light skinned woman, she tells me to remove my hat at my relative funeral inside the church building. I did remove my hat, but afterwards I personally felted disrespected from this I assume funeral home employee,(she was a slim lighskinned woman). She had no clue why I might have had my hat on my head, it could have been for religious purposes or whatever. Here is the thing regardless of her own personal views she had no legally or moral right telling me to remove my hat, regardless of so-called western culture. She was out of order,( she wanted to take her funeral home position of maybe perhaps authority and abused her small amount of power. I felt embarrassed and degraded. The church/building pastor at that local church said nothing to me, why did this funeral home employee felt she needed to. This was my uncle's homecoming services and he(my uncle) always wore hats in his life time, I felt wearing my hat on my head inside was in honor of my deceased uncle...”
