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
“Billy Butcher and everyone who works at Ward Blackburn was very attentive to our concerns and needs. I, personally, have officiated at many funerals there and in the sanctuary of the church I served. They have always been professional without being stuffy. Our family selected them when my daughter died. Not only did they help us through a trying time, but some months later, we attended a short worship, education, fellowship experience they sponsored. The talk by a highly qualified social worker helped a lot. You can feel confident when you choose them that it is a great choice and that they really care.”
— Bert Eyster
“I would definitely recommend them. My whole family used them when we had a death in the family. I really appreciate the kind way they handle things. They all are very professional and kind at the same time. I cannot say enough on the kind way they handled things.”
