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
“Laura was a terrific tour guide through the inner workings of such an admirable organization and service - Recompose. Laura had a very natural ease with the presentation and was very present with all of us in the group. The tour itself was excellent - just enough time in the different spaces of the facility and the quietude to get a real feeling for the intention of Recompose. I'd recommend this tour to anyone who is even just a little curious about options at the end of life. Recompose already stands out and this tour only confirmed that through a personal approach and a sensory feel for the place.”
— Dave Tatro
“We did the guided tour of the space, and it was stunningly gorgeous. The tour, more than anything else, convinced me that this is how I'd like my own body care to be handled. Recompose has a beautiful clean space, a careful and tender atmosphere, and luscious green imagery all around. My favorite room was The Gathering Space, which had tall ceilings and the illusion of sunbeams coming through the trees. Who knew it was possible to create such a sacred space in the middle of the industrial area of Seattle? Totally cool. Can we have this everywhere?”
— Nika Neshyba-Nara
“While I wasn't exactly jumping for joy at the idea of myself no longer existing, the composting appeals to my values and I am so glad I toured Recompose. Beautiful environment, caring staff who stressed respect and caring for the bodies of the persons who are in their keeping for this ecologically friendly process. Definitely recommend the tour which can also be done virtually by apointment. PLEASE NOTE: that is NOT a body in the first photo, but a depiction of how a body is wrapped for ceremonial purposes, etc.”
