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
“My son passed away and they were amazing and so helpful with the whole process. My daughter had to make most of the arrangements because I was so grief stricken. They confirmed everything with me to keep me informed and make sure prices and products were good. They handled everything from the start and allowed me to schedule the funeral with only a down payment until I received a disbursement check from my 401K. I would highly recommend the West Wichita location. Kimberly Dawdy-Gifford”
