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.

What Families Say
“If ever the arrangements and undertaking of a Funeral was done with the kind of love, consideration and care you would expect from a family member who loved you. this one was it. Even though we know that no one is perfect and that nothing occurs without issue, there was nothing in this one that I saw or felt which was not exceptionally done. They say that a master craftsman makes errors but his mastery is evident in the fact that you cannot see them. Mr. Williams is indeed a craftsman at removing the kinds of worries that come from such an event and making our family know that we are his as well. And, for this, we are most appreciative. Thank you. Larry D. Crawford(son of Irene L. Crawford)”
