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
“Spanish Mass is well attended but not crowded. Reverent Mass and humble bilingual priest. Good homilies and ample parking. The buildings are old but well maintained.”
— Noemi Saybe
“Ask for father Mark. Bilingual English and Spanish ceremonies. Beautiful church!”
— David L.
“Saint Mary’s original congregation was made up of amazing people who worked and prayed together to bring into existence this oasis from the distractions of the world and this source of God’s grace. Those who are still amongst you should be held up as examples of what it means to be givers of unconditional love. I know this because they gave it to me.”
— Hugh Biggar
