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
“If I could give 0 stars I would. Vincent Street will NOT give my mom my grandmothers death certificate. I really think it was some fishy business going on. My grandma said she had a policy before she died and they claim she didn’t. Vincent Street was paid hush money behind my mother’s back to act like there wasn’t a policy so that my aunt can keep the money. I wouldn’t refer a soul to this place. Oh and if you must know, Nora Williams was my grandmother. Til this day, no death certificate given to my mom who was the sole person taking care of her. Vincent Street said he had to ask my aunt if he could give her a copy. Like what???????”
