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.

“Clements took amazing care of me and my mother ( Mitch Adkins) when my Aunt and 2nd mom Clem Rice of Clem Rice HairSalon July 2003. They never rushed me when I wanted to stay there with my Aunt, She had a beautiful casket, flowers, She looked like herself. They also always help me when I have questions when I call or stop by asking about pre-need, insurance or whatever.”
— Greg Adkins
“I recently attended a service where my 3 month old son is buried. I was not prepared for what I would see. His headstone was used as a stepping stone, and a foot rest! I had to ask someone to please take his feet off of my son's headstone as it wasnt a footstool. I've been to quite a few funerals/burials and have NEVER seen this happen! It was beyond the most disgraceful and disrespectful thing I've encountered. The funeral home associates stood by whispering to one another and staring at my husband whom walked off and myself as if we shouldn't react! THIS WAS MY BABY!! MY CHILD!! AND NOT ONLY DID YOU SET IT UP THIS WAY, YOU JUST STOOD BY LIKE IT WAS OK! Now mind you the opposite side of the casket being buried was open and the chairs could have went on that side without ANY grave being disgraced and disrespected! This has emotionally and mentally made me sick and it's all I can think about, people just stepping on my BABY!! Guess you didn't expect anyone related to be there?? That's still UNACCEPTABLE! I would like to understand and a answer on why??”
