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 family has used this graveyard for generations. This was my first experience with them planning personally, and I am absolutely heartbroken at the way arrangements were handled. It seems there is a lot of miscommunication between employees, and management is unorganized. It felt as soon as I paid for everything, the care and commitment that was once there, suddenly vanished. On the day of my mother’s service, the graveside was not prepared due to a miscommunication between management and grounds keepers. My family and I had to stand there as the groundskeepers put out chairs, got the vault for the urn, and the stand for the urn. It was devastating in an already highly emotional time. The manager then remained on site, standing just outside of the tent during the entire service instead of coming back after for the urn to be lowered. (I asked to be present during this time, but for it to be following the service.) It felt invasive, like my grieving family were there to be watched. The groundskeepers then quickly rounded up the service chairs, urn stand, etc. before the family even made it to their cars. Finally, I was assured that I would be informed when my mother’s grave marker came in, and then again when it was placed. Imagine my surprise when I walked up to my mother’s grave to visit on her birthday, to find her marker already placed. Again, another heartbreaking moment. It is something you should be allowed to prepare for, to grieve for. I was sent a half hearted email the next day letting me know the marker had been placed. I’m devastated at just how badly this was mishandled. I would not recommend this as your loved one’s final resting place.”

“I had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful establishment today. I was met with a smile and welcoming words by the receptionist(didn’t catch her name). She was very busy when I arrived and still attended to me. She helped me with my inquiry and handled multiple other situations at the same time. I’m sure they are pleased to have her on their team.”
