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 sweetest staff at such a devastating time. They are extremely helpful and patient with our overwhelming questions.”
— Denisse Vega
“My father's death was difficult emotionally, Jeanie was very kind and helpful through my families loss. There was good communication and support with La Grone. I was able to paint a Mexico city on my fathers casket. I enjoyed all the services being provided through one place since it took the stress off of searching and planning. Thank you for your help.”
— Vanessa Rivera
“I do not recommend this organization at all. Specilly the Hispanic community. This is the second time have a funeral at this location. Fist time last year for a childs funeral. We didn't say anything becuase the man was elderly. As soon as we finish the Rosary one man came and turned off all the lights. Today while finishing our rosary a lady came in literally yelling, we close in ten minutes. I completely understand they have to go home too, but be polite and caring of the grief the family is going through. Make a more respectful announcement or tell the family ahead of time to make their rosary at 5pm becuase you close at 7 pm.”
— Martha Ruiz
