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
“Death is hard enough and then comes the planning of what to do. The heart is heavy with grief and your mind cannot think properly. Brian and Nathan were Godsends when my brother, Mark, passed away. They were ever so helpful and kind and generous of spirit. They understood the emotions emitted by those affected. I cannot say enough how professional these people are. I highly recommend them if you want peace of mind!”
— Memere Fournier
“Recently our family experienced an unexpected tragedy. Upon arrival, Brian couldn't have been more kind or informative with helping us with our needs. He made what seemed to be an impossible situation possible. He covered all of our options in a concerning and caring manor. We would recommend this facility for families in need of help during a difficult time.”
— Mark Kilbride
