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
“I have to say my family was treated with the utmost respect and kindness with the care of my sister. In one of the most emotional times of my life they took great care even after all was done they still checked up on me. So very thankful.”

“I can't thank Mike, Michael, Allison, and the entire staff enough for their incredible kindness and support during one of the most difficult times in my life. My Dad, who was my person, passed away a week ago, and they made the process not only manageable but truly beautiful. Their compassion, understanding, and flexibility allowed me the space to grieve while knowing my Dad and my family were being cared for with the utmost respect. They handled everything with such grace and professionalism. I give them my highest recommendation and deepest gratitude.”
