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
“The staff at Devito were all incredibly kind, thorough, and professional. There are several funeral homes to choose from in Watertown, and having no experience in this market - I looked to Google reviews to help me decide on a facility to handle my mom’s cremation. I am so happy I went with these fine people. Their guidance, services and communication were top notch. Thank you to everyone involved for your help during this very unpleasant time for our family.”
