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 cannot thank Sound Choice and Amanda Separk enough for their compassion during such a difficult time. From the first phone call, they were incredibly patient, kind, and respectful. Amanda went into the office on a Sunday to take care of my father’s arrangements when I called her that morning to inform her he would be passing soon. They handled my father with such dignity, and they made the entire process, including the paperwork, stress-free. I highly recommend their services. Thank you Amanda!”
— Melanie Wilber
