“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.

“Corinne Leary was great to work with. During this tough time with the loss of my mother, Patricia, she took the time to explain the whole process from beginning to end and was very patient and understanding. She went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly and as planned. As part of the aftercare service, Kathy, the estate specialist was helpful with explaining what needed to be done to finalize my mothers affairs and answering questions that I had.”

“Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy. The pain that comes with grief can be crippling. Planning a funeral is one of the most difficult times in life. McDonald Keohane most recently helped us plan our mom's funeral. We felt supported by their whole team. John Comer was our contact and he embraced us like family; everyone came to our support and made the process so much easier. We are grateful for their continued support as we have had to reach out following the funeral. We highly recommend their team of professionals!”
