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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 sister was at Kesler funeral home and her service was top notch. In January of this year my husband’s service was handled by Kesler. We could not have asked for for a more supportive funeral home. My husband’s service was treated with the upmost respect! Ronnie , Sam, and Clay are the best!”

“My casket peice was too small for the casket. It was open and bare on the back side of the casket. My flowers were 2 hours late. I did not appreciate that. I deserve and am requesting a 100.00 refund due to my emotional destress and inconvenience. From Melissa Marks”
