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.

“On April 17, our lives changed forever with the passing of my son. We were distraught and didn't know anything about anything. We reached out to Marisol and from that day, Marisol took the reigns and made everything 100% smooth. Everything was a yes, all of our needs were met and thoughts considered. The ride to the burial site was very therapeutic as opposed to traumatic thanks to Paul and his words. Even after the funeral, not once has calling or walking into Brennan-Mathena has it been a bad experience, to the contrary, it feels like visiting a family member. Brennan-Mathena has been welcoming and a safe spot for me during my hardest time and I will forever be thankful to Marisol and Paul for making such a tragedy a little less hard. From my family to the Brennan-Mathena family, we are forever thankful and to Marisol, thank you so much, you helped us make Oscar proud and helped send him off as he deserved. Thank you, from the bottomof this mom's broken heart.”
