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.

If I should ever have to use them again I would. Give them a chance with your loved ones. I’m very happy I did. They help you through the process from beginning to the end. Give Simplify an opportunity to help you through your journey to celebrate the life of your loved one’s. I give them 5 stars because they deserve it. Wonderful people!”

“This was a very hard experience. My brother in law recommended Simplify to me. They were gentle and kind. I pretty much knew what my husband wanted. The various plans were explained. No attempts at selling me more than I wanted. The real surprise was getting a message from them checking to see how I was doing. That totally surprised me. They even sent a link with information on dealing with grief. I was also told if there was anything they could do for me just to let them know. Thank you Simplify for making this easier for me.”
— Debra Whisenand
“Simplify has been so kind, start to finish, with such a difficult time. Mike and Madison were very knowledgeable with all aspects of planning and completion of this process.
