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.

“This was the first family loss we had suffered, it was my Mother. I must say what a wonderful service Duksa funeral home provides for a deceased loved one and their family. The care, respect, and dignity these people showed was extraordinary. The comfort they provided was beyond words. My Mother couldn't have received better care any where else. I few people I have to mention. Joanna. She navigated us through the arrangements with respect and professionalism. What a wonderful woman. I can't say enough. Thank you Joanna! From the calling hour's to my dear mom's burial. What class this home shows. Thanks to some of the others. Denise, Diana, Kristyna, Frank, Butch, and anyone else I missed. The Harrigan Family is so grateful to all of you for the unbelievable service you provided my Mother and our family. Thank you. And God bless all of you!”

“From start to finish AJ went above and beyond helping with services for my father. I have unfortunately had to make arrangements for other family members in the past at other facilities , and I must say that my experience with AJ and Duska was by far the best service, compassion, communication and understanding of my needs that were met and exceeded beyond my expectations. Thank you.”
— Jim Doherty
“This was my first family funeral at Duksa. As a life long newington resident I have attended many services ar thid facility but never have I experienced the " behind the scenes" coordination required to produced the final product. When my dad recently passed I met Tatiana at Duska. This review is already too long but I want to say Tatiana is awesome. Her kind and caring support was incredible. I will never forget her or what she did for us in our time of sorry. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
