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.

“The staff here is very friendly and helpful at a time when you need help the most. They treat you like family members. They go out of their way to make the people mourning a loss, of a loved one, feel as little pain and sorrow as possible.”
— John Jill
“The staff was very helpful, kind and compassionate as we made plans for a family member under hospice care. Rico went above and beyond in preparing prayer cards, the obituary, and cremation services as well as assisting with Social Security notification and insurance benefits. His pre-planning assistance relieved us of the burden of trying to make arrangements in a time of grief and sorrow. The Gephart staff has followed up with calls, texts and written correspondence making sure our needs were met after the service as well.”
