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.

“They were wonderful and accommodating when assisting with the burial of my daughter considering they were dealing with a power outage and had to relocate the services at the very last minute to another location off site.”
— Mona Triplett
“Don’t use this facility if you don’t have a friend or family member working there because they will treat you very unfairly and unprofessional. They don’t even offer a business card and could care less of how you feel. We asked for an autopsy to be done before cremation TERRY completely ignored our wishes and proceeded to just send the order to cremate COMPLETELY disregarding our wishes! Then they didn’t even call my mother to pick up her husbands ashes and called his friends/family to come instead! We have been treated so unfairly and I cannot believe a place of this kind can get away with it.”
— Kelly Colato
