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
“Promised that I wouldn't have to worry about anything, and that they will take care of all the coordination. Day of funeral, church opened 30 min late, people sat in the cold for 30 min, then we almost didn't have a priest and family! had to get on an emergency call to get the right priest to come in. When it was known that there was miscommunication with the priest, Frank didn't even get up from his chair to try to get on a call! And of course Frank blamed everyone but him and his daughter who was in charge of communication and coordination. Of course you could buy a car with as much as they charge which is just as much as the other more reputable funeral homes, that actually do everything.”
— Iancu Nicolae
“Frank and his daughter were so kind and thoughtful when providing their services for my mother's celebration. They took care of all those little gestures which make a funeral feel like a beautiful celebration of someone's life. Can't thank you enough.”
— Amie
“The professionalism and care and the time they spent with our family helped our family deal with loss of our mother”
