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
“Awful. Last February they absolutely botched my brothers restoration, he looked terrible, not at all how he looked alive, the makeup was horrible and you could see whatever type of glue they use to keep his eyes shut. It was so bad it had to be made a private ceremony. We paid up front for everything including urns which we did not receive and my mother had to track down his ashes in another city because they never sent them back after he was cremated. Do not trust this place with your loved ones. Beyond disrespectful to the deceased.”
