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.

“Advantage funeral services exceeded my expectations. They were very professional and quick to respond which I appreciated. They handled my dad with care during such a hard time”
— Lilah Lara
“This has been the second time I have used there services. The first was good the second not so much. The woman I talked to over the phone sounded elderly although I never met her. She had difficulty with her computer which was quite unnecessary as it was hard enough to relay the info. Also she did not return my calls and I ended up with someone named Brian who was able to take over.. I had enough going on not to have to be frustrated by her.”
— Mary louise Dyer
