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 Grandparents and Mother had nice services at Lake Lawn. I have had a terrible experience with Guy Poche. He has not communicated with our family the days he took off work or had the initiative to delegate to another Funeral Director to keep the process moving. We are approaching two weeks since my Dad's passing. Communication has been poor. I am not certain about using Lake Lawn's services again, even with our family's crypt.”
— Christopher Sanchez
“To the gentleman and employee who graciously helped me finding a friend’s plot yesterday, thank you so much!! I asked two other employees who tried to help but were unable. Thank you for going out of your way to help me. I was so lost and emotional. Awesome employee! He was working inside the West Garden Development, West Unit 1, south corridor 12.”
