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
“My dog died suddenly on Christmas day. They were right there for us. Very affordable too. Our own vet said they would charge us a huge amount to cremate him and burns did it for half the price, and we got paw print and everything. This place is family owned and you can tell they care. 3 months later my dad also suddenly passed and I immediately went to them They made everything so easy and took good care of us. They were great to us and I am forever grateful.”
