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
“Rachael, Colby and all staff members I interacted with at Gipson Funeral Home were very professional, empathetic and courteous from the moment I called them to the day of the service and even weeks after when Rachael reached out to see how I was doing, she offered her support still. I would recommend Gipson Funeral Home to anyone who has lost a loved one and needs to make arrangements. Its not an easy process and if they treat you the way they did me, then you'll be in great hands. Its still hard but choosing the right people can make a difference. Thank you Gipson Funeral Home Team.🙏”

“My husband and I were very impressed with Gipson Funeral Home. The staff was so kind and patient to us as we were making so many decisions. They were great listeners and paid attention to detail. My mother-in-laws favorite color was yellow and the day of the funeral the men staff members had yellow ties on the women had yellow sweaters on. It touched our hearts and brought a smile to our faces.”
