“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.

“I made arrangements for my husband and myself 2 years ago. I was so comfortable with the whole process from start to finish. My husband passed January 25, and it was a very snowy day, and they were so kind and respectful. When I went to make the final arrangements the young lady that I worked with was so helpful and kind. She did a perfect job. I did not use the facility. But with what I saw they did a great job.”
— Amy Mayers
