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.

“For 1. The obituary has several mistakes in it. 2. My family has been waiting over 2 months for a death certificate with no clear explanation of what is taking so long. We've called several times only to be told " due to circumstances". What circumstances? If you want professionals to handle your love ones passing in a timely manner, don't go here. It should not take more than two months to receive a death certificate under any circumstances! The one thing I can say about this establishment is that they did a good job on/ with my babies viewing.”
— Joyce Cooper
