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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“Weak. Did not introduce self to immediate family members, barely responded when they introduced themselves. When asked for a good time to slip out to the restroom, suggested family member wait a few minutes then go DURING THE ACTUAL FUNERAL. Putting flowers on the casket instead of actually putting the coffin in the ground and letting us throw dirt in. How can you even refer to that as an interment ceremony when you don’t even inter the body? Flowers were not fixed to the grave in any way & had blown off within a couple hours.”
— Jennifer Kopf
“Asked politely for a water because I forgot to bring one. Im at calling hours for 3 hours. They directed me to a water fountain!!! And during covid of all things! How unbelievably cheap”
— tasha Baker
