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.

What Families Say
“Thank you for the kind and professional treatment on the passing of my mom, Evelyn T. Your patience and guidance through decisions was greatly appreciated as my Dad tried to navigate through this new normal. You did a nice job and made her look like the mom I want to remember. Thank you Aaron and staff.”
— Julia Olson
“The staff at this funeral home, especially Debra, were some of the most compassionate and accommodating professionals I have ever worked with. Making arrangements for my sister’s burial was very complicated due to a variety of external factors. Debra worked with us to clear every hurdle and made the entire process as “painless” as it could be. If I could give them ten stars, I would!”
