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
“My mother recently passed away, and we used Burke & Sons to organize the funeral. Marianne and the staff were absolutely top notch. Everything was well thought out, prompt and effortless. They communicated with me at all hours of the day, evenings and weekends. Everything was so smooth that my family and I were able to relax as much as possible as we knew they had it all sorted. They have my gratitude and I would recommend their services 100% to anyone.”
— Keith Main
“I can’t say enough great things about the outstanding work of Michael Burke and his team. Michael was professional, responsive, and kind, with great attention to detail. Within hours of my father’s death, he took care of everything. His work, and that of his team, resulted in a great tribute to my dad. The Burke Funeral Home also handled the funeral of my mother 48 years ago and they did a great job then too. I highly recommend them!”
— Marcy Reborchick
“The Burke Family has been exceptional over the years that I have been there. They are humble, respectful, and extremely professional. I think they are the pinnacle in Metro Boston. This is the family you want taking care of your loved ones. I truly respect all of them.”
