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
“Beautiful, old cemetary in the industrial area of Ft Smith. It's quite large with many fields and memorials. Public restrooms and benches are available. There is a visitors center and a computer to research names and plots numbers, but it was broken when we stopped by. They did have a website provided, though. Well kept, clean, and every grave had a flag placed on it for Memorial Day, which was very special.”
— Nicole Hood
“Everybody that visits the area, must walk or drive through this garden of stones. Very humbling, veterans buried and there wives after, sometimes before. Not next one another but at least in spirit, sharing hallowed ground. A true reason to reflect on what these people sacrificed for our country. From the ones that fought during the Civil war, too the ones that fought overseas . Also the ones that fought the wars on the home front in the factories and homes.”
— a. barker
“A beautiful tribute to all that have served this country. I was honored to be among heroes.”
— Bruce Marshall
