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.

“Maricella was amazing during this difficult time. The customer care and support was amazing and she made it easy. Especially with the fact that we live out of state now. Both my parents are buried here now and both were cared for perfectly. Highly recommend.”

“I would like to thank everyone who was involved with my mom's service. It was such a beautiful service. There is not enough words to express how wonderful father Pablo was. It was the perfect combination of the mass and personal touches to remind you that it was about my mom. My mom would have been pleased and that makes her children very happy and proud.”

“For over a year I have been dealing with my mothers grave marker and this cemetery has consistently made errors and FORGOTTEN about my mother completely when it comes to her grave marker. They initially ordered the wrong size picture for her plaque and communicated that to me via text that they will be ordering a new picture. I moved out of state and was unable to check on my mother until I came back to visit 9 months later. And there was no picture!!! They apologized and said it got missed through the cracks somehow. An entire person's memory was forgotten by their team! Very upsetting. However they said they would order the picture again and it would arrive within 3 weeks. It has been a month now and I had my father check on it as I no longer live in California. Still no picture! He spoke to the office and they ordered the wrong size again!! I am very upset and hurt. My mother deserves more respect than this cemetery and team are showing. On top of this issue my mothers flower vase has gone missing TWICE! The first time I communicated with Maricela that I was upset and was given no explanation, I was left on read and ignored. The second time it happened Anthony took over and explained that it might have sank. Either way it is very upsetting that it took so long to get an explanation and because of how many errors and how long things are taking I no longer trust them. I am hurt and upset, this is now the 4th issue I've had with this cemetery and I would NOT recommend burying someone you love and care for here as their staff will not respect their memory. R.I.P Joanne Marie Morales. The cemetery may not care about you but I love you and will always speak up for you.”
