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
“Dignity Memorial provided compassionate, professional, and respectful care during one of the most difficult times of my life. From the very beginning, their team treated my son and our family with dignity, kindness, and genuine empathy. They explained each step of the cremation process clearly and handled everything with great care, which gave me peace of mind when I needed it most. I am deeply grateful for their support, sensitivity, and the comfort they provided during such a painful moment.”
— Rachana Bhonsle
“My Brother in Law just passed away 2 days ago. This place would not allow my husband, his sister or his daughter to view his body. I called them and the lady answering the phone was very nice and said she would have them call me. I never got a return call. They told his wife that it was not permitted. She could only see him to ID his body. No compassion to his siblings and daughter.”
— Cassy Davis
“My son died in a different state than we lived in. And Palmetto was so good about helping me out with everything I needed to do and know. I would highly recommend them.”
— M Perkins
