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
“Ann was wonderful in knowing what I would want for my prearrangement of planning my cremation just by asking a few questions. It is a bizarre appointment and she made me feel very comfortable. There was no pressure to purchase anything. I highly recommend Ball and Dodd for your prearrangement burial. I left very satisfied and comforted that my burial was taken care of down to the smallest detail with her guidance and my wants.”
— Kristine Bachman (Kris)

“Kat and Sarah were fabulous with organizing my dad's service. I had numerous family and friends attending the service via Zoom. Sarah and Kat were helpful setting up the meeting and troubleshooting the audio. Sarah was kind enough to man the camcorder for the whole service. All the staff were comforting and professional. Highly recommended.”
