“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

“Jay and Jill and their team made each part of this process much easier with their kindness and professionalism. At a time when a grieving family has a long To Do List, a lot of things can get mixed up along the way. Jay is the one who remembered for us, made changes on the fly, and was quick to suggest good ideas, all with an ease that we really appreciated. Everyone at Owens was absolutely organized, available, and lovely.”
