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
“After loosing our loved one right after the new year, Cremation specialist was fast and efficient with getting our loved one out of the hospital and preparing for his cremation. We received updates along the way throughout the process… highly recommend this company for anyone looking to do a separate celebration of life ceremony at a later date, like we plan on doing. Justice was great and reached out when needed and answered all questions we had during the process”
— Nicole Pascale
“Cremation Specialists of PA were wonderful to us during a tough time of loss. They were sensitive, caring and guided us step by step through this process as we were not familiar. We appreciate their professional business model and found it easy to trust them with the care of our loved one.”
— Steff Luoma
“One never wants to have to use these services. The interaction with the company was very good. It's mostly done online although I did have phone conversations with a couple of people. The necessary information was quickly and simply conveyed. The price was far less than funeral homes we called. Cremation Specialist was professional and took care of my husband and the necessary paperwork in a timely manner.”
