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.

“I want to express my gratitude to Todd for the compassionate, kind, and professional way he handled my best friend’s mother’s funeral. Her funeral was held several hours away to be closer to her home. Despite the distance from Iowa Falls, the service was beautiful and seamless. Todd's grace and compassion were evident throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend this funeral home enough. Thank you, Todd.”
