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
“Sarah Hansen and the staff made us feel like we were in good hands. Sarah guided us through all our questions. She took care of all the details in a considerate and compassionate way. We are so grateful for Sarah’s kindness and would highly recommend D’Elia The Mercado Family”
— Rosa Mercado
“The funeral director was very attentive. My mother pre-planned her funeral, but for some reason the powerpoint was missing about a 100 pictures. I brought it to their attention right away and they attempted to correct it. I'm sure that was a typical difficulty, so my suggestion is to let the family review the final product before the viewing, but I would highly recommend them. They are very respectful & caring.”
— Sue Le Bla
