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.

“Out experience with Brian and the entire stall was excellent.

Thanking them for making this time of deep mourning as easy as possible. Thank you!”

“Our family had such a comforting experience with Ballard in Shakopee. Jay was so helpful, kind and patient with our large (and sometimes not easy to organize) family. She is very wise beyond her years and had the perfect response to every concern we brought before her. They were wonderful.”
— Shelly Nelson
“Lindsey and Charlie were absolutely amazing for our family at a time of very unexpected loss. They approached the situation with the utmost of respect and grace even guiding us through some very tough decisions. Their approach is one I would highly recommend for any situation.
