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
“I cannot thank Gary Murphy and Joshua Marsh enough for the exceptional service and care of my family this past week during my father's funeral. Their responsiveness, tact, and organizational skills made the process very easy. Any and every request we made was honored and executed with precision. They went above and beyond handling little details that we did not even consider. My father was a huge Auburn fan and Gary brought some of his own Auburn memorabilia for our display table and the staff wore Orange and Blue ties which my Dad would have loved. In a rush to get to the funeral home my mother did a quick job steaming my father's burial shirt. I asked Gary if they could iron it better. He took it home and pressed it himself. I'm beyond grateful to this staff. Thank you!”

“Striffler-Hamby Funeral Home provided exceptional care and compassion throughout both the planning process and my wife’s service. Josh and Cynthia were incredibly helpful every step of the way, with Cynthia especially going above and beyond. We were never rushed, and they were very accommodating to all of our requests. They also made thoughtful suggestions that truly enhanced the service and made it feel personal and meaningful. During an extremely difficult time, their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail brought us a great deal of comfort. I’m very grateful for their support and highly recommend Striffler-Hamby to anyone in need of funeral services.”

“Joe and I go back a long way when he helped us with funerals for my mother and father in-law, and then a few years later with my younger brother and then my father. Gary helped us this past week with my mother. Mom was the fourth family member we had lost since August. My large family was greiving in a lot of ways. Gary along with Joe and others on your staff provided us with so much compassionate help that it made things so easy for us. Being a holiday weekend, and then the snow, made our needs a little challenging as we had family coming from five states and some with urgent plans that had to be worked around. Gary always greeted us with a smile, listened to our needs, and always offered a solution. Along with a beautiful service, everything was exceptional. Thank you so very much from the whole family. Mike King”
