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.

“My name is Bethane Middleton-Brown. I am the sister of the late Rev. DePayne V. Middleton who was one of the Emanuel 9 killed in Mother Emanuel Church on June 17, 2015. This was a hard time for me and my family. I want to give great thanks to Palmetto Funeral Home for a superb job. They were very supportive and attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to give our beloved fallen angel a very intimate and heartfelt home going service. I felt their services displayed the meaning of the poem Footprints as I felt they carried us when we were experiencing the most vulnerable time in our lives possible. We are forever grateful for the astute services they provided that got us through such a tragic experience. We are still not where we can take one day at a time due to the severity of our pain, but they have contributed to our ability to take one breath at a time, pressing on with patience and guidance that God has warranted us via my beautiful sister's spirit. "I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me."”
— Bethane Brown
