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
“Jonathan, our funeral director, was an absolute blessing. While one hopes not to need these services often, if you do, Jonathan and the wonderful staff are the group you want in your corner. Navigating family dynamics and strong emotions under such circumstances can be challenging, but Jonathan, Sarah, and the team were consistently understanding and reassuring. Jonathan was compassionate, patient, clear, and concise throughout the entire process. On the day of the service, every single staff member was ready, willing, and happy to assist with whatever was needed. Having unfortunately experienced multiple funerals recently, I can attest that the proactive readiness of this staff is exceptional. They made a difficult time much easier, and my family and I are incredibly appreciative of their support.”
