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.

“Trimble was a FABULOUS experience! Fast, efficient, quick response time, VERY thorough! They took the time to listen and understand. They also offer the ENTIRE spectrum of keepsakes available with an easy purchase process. They wrote to obituary with the facts we shared, called the church, cemetery.... made ALL the arrangements! It was an ABSOLUTELY seamless process, taking care of all the logistics and taking the burden off the entire family! I will never consider anywhere else! Thank you Trimble for being so amazing during the hardest of times!”
