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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

— Michele Woods
“Affordable! Funerals under $10,000 « traditional burial » The funeral home makes no qualms about it they are in the buisness of putting people in graves or urns ⚱️. They don’t play on your emotions and swindle you. Michael don’t show any emotional input, beyond honest answers to questions and concerns. Why would he? They know your in need and vulnerable. Excess sympathy would only encourage bad decision making and excessive spending. This I feel encouraged me to make logical decisions without, emotional fog; getting in the way. My loved one was not in very good shape. The Rortvedt team made them look surprisingly good. My expectations where exceeded. The funeral was done my loved one was buried. In the end I’m not bankrupt. I would recommend to anyone. The Sun company is nice but. Rortvedt can do just as good if not better for less.”
