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
“I cannot express enough, what a great job you and your staff did to help my family through this tough time. From the day of the service your dedication to detail made such an impression on me . From wearing my brothers favorite team hat and team socks. My beautiful Niece had to put all this together and with your help it came out so beautiful. All the staff were very compassionate and caring. The arrangement of flowers and plants were set just right. Sincerely, Colleen Bayer Norris & family”

“Used this funeral home in the past, however one of their employees Anthony J Morris has recently posted some truly awful posts on Facebook, calling for the execution of Americans that have different political beliefs than him. I do not feel comfortable or safe working with a funeral home going forward that employs people who wish death on others. Super unsettling this man is a funeral director… It’s a shame because the other staff have always been kind and supportive.”
— Faith M
