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
“The entrance is not where Google tells you. When you get from the trolley walk left, past the closed gate show on Google. There will be another gate marker as exit, but you can enter it on foot. It is a clean well maintained cemetery. This was a nice stop.”
— Julie's bites
“Sylvia went above and beyond for our dad’s service earlier this year (Bobby Guidry). She made it so personal and special for us and really went above and beyond. She even took the attached photo for us to show that my dad sent her a sign that he was happy with everything after everyone left. Now we have Sylvia helping us again for our mom’s service and couldn’t be more grateful to have the same wonderful angel helping us through this difficult situation again so soon.”
— Ashley Dimitri
“Quick walk before rains came down. Very interesting and a good way to see some history. Enjoyed a stroll and I was only person I saw that morning so both peaceful and spooky too”
