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
“I cant say enough how pleasant and helpful the team at Gary Deiters Funeral home were while arranging services for my Grandmother. Gary was able to help with so many things that we had not even thought of during our stressful time of mourning. During the services Gary was able to assist with keeping the atmosphere positive and reflecting on the happy memories with our Grandmother. It was how my grandmother would have wanted it. I highly recommend their services.”
