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.

What Families Say
“Best. Experience. Ever. I never thought I’d be leaving a five-star review for a mortuary, but here we are! East Texas Mortuary and Cremation Service really knocked it out of the park—or should I say, laid it to rest? From start to finish, their team handled everything with a level of care and professionalism that was simply to die for. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, I almost forgot why I was there! They made the entire process as smooth as a freshly polished casket, and let me tell you, their cremation services are lit. I never imagined I’d be raving about an urn selection, but wow—if you want variety, they’ve got it. All jokes aside, they made a difficult time much easier, and I can’t recommend them enough. If you’re in need of their services (hopefully not anytime soon), rest assured—they’ll take care of you like family.”
