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
“Mike was such a pleasure to work with. During a time when things were hardest for our family I’m so glad my dad said he wanted to have his service with Fossum. Days leading up to my dads funeral we’re busy and I never worried that Mike would not come through. When I walked in and saw my dad he looked amazing, the last day in the hospital he was so sick, it was breathtaking to see my dad look so good and peaceful. Not only did Fossum do a great job handling my dads entire funeral, Mike showed so much care for us and he truly went above and beyond. Thank you for making my dads final day so beautiful! ❤️”
