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.

“Celebration of Life helped me through every step of taking care of all of my needs dealing with my Wife's passing. They were caring and understanding during the hardest thing I have ever experienced. The rates were very reasonable which added less stress to an already stressful process. It's nice knowing that they are there if another painful situation arises.”

“The only people that were willing to work with us. They were very friendly and kind I highly recommend them. So very kind and gentle hearts if you have a loved one in Iowa that is passed away contact them .They did an amazing job with everything. My mom passed away Friday and buy the next day she was cremated. Thank you so much for your compassion you did an amazing job with our families closer of my mom passing.”
— Tina Townsend
“I spoke with Tim regarding picking up my mother's ashes. He argued with me after I explained we did not owe a balance. I spoke with Ryan previously regarding this issue and he told me it was resolved. Tim lacked empathy and basic customer service skills. The lack in communication between their team should not fall upon their customers.”
