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
“Thank you is not an adequate enough word of gratitude for Robin and her staff at Wylie- Baxley Funeral home. Their compassion, professionalism and eye to detail Shepherded my family through the hardest weeks of our lives. Also a special mention to Dawn who was beyond sweet and supportive to my mom. Thanks and God bless you all. Brian Beale It’s been 6 months since my father passed and regretfully I have to edit my review Almost six months to the day a “grief counselor” called my mom and asked her if she would like the same funeral my father had and she would be happy to assist her. This is the most rude, insensitive and unprofessional cold call I ever heard of. Yes, they called me to apologize and acknowledged it was mistake on their part. I understand that mistakes are made but this was a colossal blunder on their part. Do better.”

“Thanks to Robin and her staff it was 10 times better than I had hoped for. From the planning to the actual celebration of life it was perfect and breathtaking. Highly recommend to anyone that has to deal with this process.”
— Runner Fast
“I cannot express how grateful I am that during an emotional and turbulent time that Robin, Carla and the team at Wiley Baxley funeral home took care of everything. From the arrangements, to communicating via email, to the funeral and internment. Everything was smooth and I basically didn't have to worry about anything once the arrangements were made. This helped ease the pain of my loss during this terrible time. Thank you again for thinking of everything and being so professional and wonderful.”
