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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“The compassion shown was truly spectacular. Everything was explained so that we understood, the rooms are classically pretty, Chris even went above and beyond for our family. It made the most difficult time of our lives, bearable. I was comforted, knowing that my dad would've loved sharing family history.”
— Cheri Wanek
“Honestly there are no words to describe the high degree of compassion Mr. Yanaitis showed to my recently deceased sister (even prior to her anticipated passing). Afterwards, he afforded our family the same degree of concern and attention. He is superb.”
