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
“The lady that greeted us at the door was nasty. I had a bag of snack cakes. Unknowing of the rule and she gave me a nasty look said no food take that back out. If you want to take it up with the state go ahead. Like she could’ve been a little nicer given the circumstance. Then she sat in the one room talking about god knows what so unbelievable loud and laughing as me and my family cried in the next room. She needs to read her job description again and rethink. Everyone else was great”
— Breanna Pyle
“Top-notch service that ensured all the details were taken care of. I highly recommend them for a reverent, professional event! They buried my Grandfather (Edward Charles DeLong) in '67, grandmother (Pearl Buffum DeLong) in '78, mother (Anne Weborg DeLong) in '81, and my father (Charles Embert DeLong) in 2002. The best service for over 50 years!”
