“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

“They are great. Their facility is large enough to accommodate people yet gives you an intimate feeling. There is room to display photos & momentos of the person being honored. Plenty of corners & areas to let small groups congregate.”

“I went to a funeral today that this home took care of. It was terrible. Flowers didn't get placed on casket until half way through the viewing. Mass cards were left behind & brought later. Undertakers had no suits on.. The one looked like he rolled out of bed And the closing of the casket was horrific & I hope I never see that again. Mortified!”
