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
“Doctors and nurses are good especially during the day. Most aids are good. There are a few that like to hide out especially at night and that needs surprise checked to make sure staff is doing good. Food at Good Samaritan has its moments of being bad and other times pretty good. I hate to show this picture of a breakfast tray they gave me one morning but, it was really bad and slimy. I didn’t like how it was and I always try to stay on top of things. Someone needs to always check on their loved ones to make sure they getting the best possible care. Especially if they can’t handle making sure they are getting the best of care.”
— Patricia Ferris
“I don't think the hospital deserves all the one star reviews. What I saw was a compassionate team who were working hard to help everyone. I was brought in quickly and shown kindness and respect. Hospitals are busy and no one wants to be there, give the staff some grace.”
— Emily Andress
“I have nothing positive to say about the "doctor". We had several bad experiences. We were told they needed a stool sample but they never picked it up and when we questioned, the tech said it was not needed. Then the sample remained in the bathroom for hours. Patient asked for water around 9AM it never arrived. Trash in the closet (napkin and utensils). Then to top it off there were roaches crawling on the floor during the night. I can go on but I won't. There were a few good nurses on staff. Aaron V, Hannah M, and Emily L were amazing. My daughter literally said "Emily L save me". Sadly there great work was not enough for me to give a better rating because everything else was so bad.”
