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 can’t express how grateful I am for the care and compassion shown by this funeral home. Jacob went above and beyond to support me while I was arranging everything from far away. He communicated clearly, answered every question with patience, and eased so many of my worries during an incredibly difficult time. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine concern meant so much to me and my family. I’m truly thankful for everything he did to help us through this.”
— Amy Smith
“Jacob and the entire staff especially Brigitte and Julie were so accommodating. They took care of everything and were so easy to work with. They made suggestions and some were things I never thought of. Their attention to detail was very helpful. I would definitely recommend pre-planning your service with them.”
— M P
“Jacob made our experience so comfortable and comforting. He was excellent. Mom got the send-off she would have wanted and deserved. It has long been a given that Mom would use both St. Joseph Funeral home and the cemetery, but this was beyond what we expected.”
