“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.

“We were so blessed to have Tammy and her staff help us though this difficult time!! From start to finish they were kind, patient, professional, understanding and treated us like our Dad and family were all they had to do even though we knew they were busy. Day or night Tammy was there for us with love, hugs and support. I refer to her as "wonder women" as she is just simply amazing! Thank you Tammy and crew for the care you gave to us and our Father.”

“Spencer was so knowledgeable and caring and walked my brothers and me through the whole process. He made changes in Mom's make-up like we asked. He was so professional at the funeral. The video of Mom's life was wonderful. We had a great experience.”
