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
“Chrissy and Larry are a wonderful team who provide an incredibly important role in our family and community. From the initial consult to the final steps, they provided caring, supportive recommendations and service during a very difficult time. They made for a very special day for the funeral of my father. I received multiple compliments later in the day as to how special the entire morning transpired. Thank you Chrissy and Larry and the entire team of the Silva Funeral Home.”
— Matthew Dumenigo
“Larry was very empathetic and caring. Just recommended that people read the fine print. While our loved one had a burial benefit, the check is made out to the estate. The average time in MA for probate is 6 - 18 months. Even if you leave you 50% deposit the new owners of Silva will charge you an monthly interest rate due to the loan they pull to make payroll... Ability to make payroll should not fall to the consumer that is already burdened with legal processes.”
— Jess S
“Larry is the best. He did so much of The VA legwork on behalf of my brother Jeffrey, AND HE IS SO KIND AND CARING. Highly recommend this funeral home because they think of everything and make a trying time so much easier. Grateful to you Larry, and always will be.”
