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
“Joel Magliozzi was so easy to talk to and he was right there with any question I had. He has great knowledge of the funeral business as he has been here for many years. I would highly recommend going to Joel for your funeral needs. He has such an understanding demeanor about him which helps when this is the last thing you want to be doing since your spouse/loved one passed away.”
— Tricia Voner
“Joel and the entire staff were just incredible when my husband passed away early November. Their kindness and professionalism through such a horrific experience, made things much easier to deal with. There really are no words to fully express our thankfulness. Thankfully, my brother-in-law had recommended having the services there and everything was just perfect. It was so comforting to know that we were in such good hands, as was my husband from the very start.”
— Shannon Peak
“Joel has done many wakes for my family. He is the best and makes you feel comforted in your time of need. I would highly recommend him and the job that he and his team do with your love ones is amazing. He took very good care of my husband recently when he passed away and I am forever grateful.”
