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
“Went to a viewing service today for a friend. A staff member greeted me at the door and gave clear instructions. The room was well decorated and homey. They had multiple corners set up with small couches and arm chairs for the family and friends to use. They were also very attentive, and provided assistance spontaneously.”
— Bradley C
“John Krtil handled the arrangements for my mother's funeral this week and did so in a kind, compassionate and exemplary manner. Unlike most funeral homes that are now part of a large conglomerate, Krtil remains family owned and operated. We were treated with great warmth by Mr. Krtil, Omar, Noel, Angel and all of the staff. Mom had the dignified farewell that she deserved and I thank Krtil Funeral Home and recommend their services without hesitation.”
— Ed Hagan
“Due to Covid and my inability to travel to New York City from Washington DC, I depended 100% on John Krtil Funeral Home to guide and assist me with every detail. I first placed a phone call at 4:30am and Angel returned my call at 5:30 am or so. Angel handled all the details with great compassion and provided outstanding service. I highly recommend John Krtil in times of need for their professionalism, caring and going the extra mile for my family.”
