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.

“My Family has used your Funeral home for years & we have never had 1 complaint. You are all the sweetest, kindest & caring souls & treat people more like Family then customers.”
— Izabella McIntyre
“My Beloved Husband passed away just 2 days before Christmas 2023. Both Mr. Simchak and His associate David were so gracious and helpful to Me at that most difficult time. All of My husband's funeral home preparations and final memorial service were handled so professionally. I would highly recommend this funeral home. They totally understand what you are going through.”
— Ruth Dancy
“I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my family. David is the most comforting person we’ve ever met. We never felt uncomfortable, rushed or convinced to do anything we didn’t want to do. We’ve been (un)fortunate enough to have used them twice in the last 2 years but we’re grateful we went to them. they made the best out of the worst situation. i wouldn’t recommend anyone else around.”
