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
“3 huge losses in 18 months and EVERYONE there was so helpful, kind and gentle. They guide you carefully through this process you wish were not a reality, with grace and tender care. When your brain has exploded from the pain of it all, they provide a safe place to figure out all that is involved when you must say goodbye to your loved one (in my case my beloved Husband, Mom and Dad), with dignity.”
— Teresa Getman
“As her Chiropractor, I got to know Linda quite well. She was a very loving and caring person. I still remember the time she showed up at one of my patient appreciation day parties dressed as a horse with her spouse, Gary, bringing up the rear ( the two of them were in the costume together). She left a wonderful family far too soon. She will be greatly missed.”
— Richard Oberheu
“Jeff and the staff are super professional and very compassionate. They always do a wonderful job with taking care of the many details. I can't say enough about how our family appreciated their care.”
— John Schneider
