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.

“My family and I celebrated the home going of my beloved big cousin (sister, auntie, and friend) Ms. Beverly A. Blue and The Baucom family made that a very smooth experience for all of us. They all were so very helpful with the entire process! I want to give a special thank you to Mrs. Shrylene who assisted me with the obituary/life reflections and also poems! She was very professional, warm, compassionate, and eager to help! I certainly enjoyed working with her and truly appreciate her time, attention, and patience she took with me!! Our family would also like to thank the entire Baucom team for caring for our love one, their professionalism, and the compassion they showed to our family during this time of bereavement. Thank you very much and may GOD continue to lead, guide, direct, and protect you all along the way!”
