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.

“The care and attention the staff at Burke-Tubbs provided our family this past week was outstanding. They insured every detail was covered and offered valuable insight along each decision process. There was no sense of "upselling" often described in the industry. They also worked seamlessly with the out of town cemetery on short notice and things were effortless there as well. In a time when details and grief can be overwhelming, it's reassuring to know that these professionals offer the highest level of care and professionalism. You can bet Mary and Jerry are looking after you all!”
