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
“Mrs.Drain, handled the services for my mother. We had a service and a cremation after. She did everything through the phone with us by us living many states away. Once we arrived in town we sign all of our paperwork that was necessary. The director we dealt with there was a pastor and presented us with scripture and love. Thank you to Drain Funeral Home staff. They also offered to provide transportation to us from the hotel, but we didn’t need it .”
— Marc Cheifter
