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 story of the death of my roommate is very complicated so I won't go into details, but I was his primary caregiver and for all intents and purposes, his only family. I didn't have anyone to help me thru this process but everyone at Ascend Creamation walked me thru the steps and made the situation so much easier for me. Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding in a difficult time. Their prices are very reasonable and there are no hidden fees. Everything is up front. This is an honest family owned business. I highly recommend their services. Thank you!”
