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.

“We lost my mom recently and has no idea how to take care of all our details including burial in another state. Terry Smith and his wonderful staff were nothing short of amazing. They took care of everything. We told them what we wanted and it was done. Everything was smooth and effortless. I can't recommend these guys enough. They are knowledgeable and compassionate. We feel like we have made new friendships. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. Bless you”
