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
“Failed my family around every single corner. Can’t get us the death certificate, can’t provide useful receipts, did not delivery the obituary pamphlet until absolute last minute after we’d already got out of the way to find our own. Jerrell will try to nickel and dime every dollar of grief he can out of you. If your family member dies you’d be showing them more respect taking them into the woods and leaving them to decompose. If this were a restaurant I would have sent the food back, asked to speak to the manager and left a 0% tip. I will personally recommend all of my family and friends to spend their money anywhere else for their death needs.”
— Matt Lukasik
“It was a wonderful experience to work with Michelle H at Rendina. Everything is taken care of. She goes above and beyond and gets things done before you can think about it. Funeral home is spacious, and prices are very manageable. Everything is so customized to what you need. Michelle feels much more like a friend than a funeral director. I half expect her to pop up at our next family picnic.”
