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
“Bloomington Normal residents are advised to exercise caution when considering business transactions with East Lawn Memorial Gardens or Funeral Home. Dignity Memorial, the parent company, has allegedly failed to ensure the security of sensitive information. During a recent visit, unsecured boxes containing employee and customer files were discovered in an unlocked garage on the premises. Furthermore, there have been reports of misconduct and unauthorized disclosure of employee personal information by another former employee. In light of these concerns, it is recommended that community members carefully evaluate their options before engaging with East Lawn or any Dignity Memorial-affiliated cemetery or funeral home. It is essential to prioritize the protection of personal information and support businesses that maintain robust security measures.”
