“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.

“If you’re looking for a dignified, compassionate place to say goodbye to a loved one, I strongly recommend you keep looking. Walking into this funeral home felt less like entering a place of peace and more like stepping onto the set of a low-budget horror movie or maybe an abandoned butcher shop. To begin, our mother’s body was dropped during transport and was placed right next to another body upon arriving at the funeral home, as if privacy and respect were optional extras. To make matters worse, her head was propped on a cinder block. A cinder block. She wasn’t a piece of meat in a freezer...she was our mom, and she deserved dignity. The funeral director was cold, uncompassionate, and disrespectful and the lack of compassion toward me and my siblings was shocking. Rather than offering words of support, we were met with rudeness and an attitude that suggested our grief was inconveniencing him. When we requested that our mother be transferred to another funeral home that would treat her with the respect she deserved, they refused to release her until we paid for their so-called “services.” Translation: they held her body hostage until they got their check. In a time of heartbreak, the last thing any family needs is a funeral home that operates this way with a director who treats grieving families with disdain. Do yourself a favor; choose a funeral home that remembers they’re dealing with people, not property.”
