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.

“Update below is my original review, after posting this the owner reached out to me, not to blow smoke, but to actually apologize, and agreed that my service is not how he wants things done. It was a frank honest discussion and greatly appreciated. I have decided to change the review on my own it was never asked to do it My aunt died in November, today we final got the glass urn and other small items. It should not take almost 3 months to get anything from a funeral home. Use to be a great place when it was parker”
