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
“Has wheelchair access right to the altar at Entrance C (on Centre Street ) Beautiful first time visit 🙏 Saturday Night Mass in English is 05:00 pm & Sunday @ 8:00 am”
— Robert Serafin
“I’m a new member of the church and although it is a very nice church considering how old it is, the a priest (older man-not sure of his name) passes comments that can make some attendees including myself, very uncomfortable. I understand that he may want to get his point across regarding various things but I think there are more friendly ways to say it specially considering that he is the priest and he should be setting an example. Also, the church staff should keep in mind that when attendees arrive to mass, we decide where we want to sit, it’s really inappropriate to be pushing us and requesting us to move to the front benches to accommodate late arrivals.”
— Jackie Rodriguez
