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.

“The most kind hearted, caring and helpful team ever. Their food bank every third Thursday of the month to those with proof of living in the 46802 area code are helped and treated so kindly. 3:30.”

“Parking. Today I had to park my car a whole block from my home and walk after my overnight shift. There are people that live in the houses all around there. There’s a parking lot and plenty of road spaces that are available that are not directly in front of someone’s home. People need to park at their own homes. If they could figure out this problem, I’d probably attend.”
