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
“When my Mom transitioned to hospice, I asked the Senior Living Facility to suggest a local mortuary. Reis family was the one we chose based on their helpful attitude. It was convenient that all the paperwork could be done online. All communication was quick and clear. They also accept payment from the California Master Trust. When the death certificates arrived just hours before my flight home, they went above and beyond to get them to me. Excellent, kind, and thoughtful service!”
— Kathy Guggenmos
“They were kind and delivered all the services I paid for. Expensive though. Emily gave me a lot of help to get bill printed.”
— SDA2007
“The low review is based on the person who performed the service which might not of even been apart of the mortuary. For the actual location there was plenty of parking, seating, and it was easy to find.”
— Stephanie bianchi
