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.

“Well before my wife passed away, we had decided we knew and trusted Birmingham Funeral Home. Birmingham Funeral Home offers anything and everything you would ever need. We turned Pam's death into a celebration around who she was to so many people in the community. Birmingham Funeral Home gave us the whole facility and we covered the walls and tables with everything imaginable from Pam's life. Argo did a great job leading the memorial event and we could not have imagined things going any better. Even with the immense sadness, Birmingham Funeral Home helped us make Pam's star shine bright.”
