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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“My mother bought her plan from the father of this establishment a good 15 years before her death. They treated her so well even when she would call every couple of months to unsure all of her plans would be taken care of and that there would be no extra charge because she bought it so far in advance. When it came time for me to interact with them. There was so much peace and comfort that what my mom set up they followed though with to the letter and more. The compassion and kindness that they do business is like you are family. I recommend everyone Sharer- Nightingale”
