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.

“I have used this funeral homes service twice in the past for my two siblings but this time around for the matriarch of my family. The did not follow directions, made several mistskes with the spelling of her name and Patrick belongs to the same church my mom belonged to. My address was botched and so was my emailing address even when he was asked to correct the email address he did not do so because it was mishandled once again, handle her body upon pick up roughly when removing her items suchs as rings from her fingers as if she was no longer a person. It was not appreciated by the family especially my brother who watched the entire event. We will no longer use their services in the future.Cold and callouse.. My mom was a queen and deserved better treatment..Period!”
