“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

“We unfortunately lost our seven-month-old baby to a very rare mitochondrial disorder. During this difficult time, Newton Bracewell truly went above and beyond for us. The mausoleum is always impeccably maintained, and they even adorned it with a stunning Christmas tree decorated with ornaments featuring our baby's name. This thoughtful gesture made the holidays a little easier to bear, knowing our child is resting in such a beautiful place. Our family highly recommends them. Thank you, Newton Bracewell.”
