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.

— Casey Holstein
“We planned on visiting at the beginning of 2026 but our 99 year old mother passed in mid December. So, we called at 5am and they came that morning to pick her up. That afternoon we met Alicia and she gave us all the option- there are many, and planned the entire day for us. She was there from the family greetings to the cemetery. Under the circumstances and with the unpredictable weather, the day went much better than expected. I highly recommend them for you funeral needs.”
