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.

I have received the wrong body ,messed up obituary 3 times also death certificate and was charged $500 for a service that they didn't even do . they should be ashamed for taking advantage of someone in the worst possible time of their life”
— Misty Faccadio
“The funeral home director was very empathetic and helpful at this very difficult time. There was not a single thing that I could have asked for that they had not already considered. In a time of great stress and sadness they were excellent and supportive.”
— Fran Marko
“We entrusted you with the care of our loved one. Instead of asking us if we were ready to have his casket closed, you scooted us over to the side and closed a door between us and our son. You Clearly saw us hugging and weeping while looking at him before we left. And you closed that door, loudly. When the young man followed us to the car yelling something about signing paperwork IT WAS TOO MUCH. HAVE SOME COMPASSION, OR TAKE A CLASS ON HOW TO CARE”
— Bette Harrington
