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
“This funeral services was not to my expectations. I felt like since I wasn’t raised or known in Oxford Mississippi that the staff felt like my opinion didn’t matter little did they know I was the one who stood by my mother’s side through it all. I thought funeral directors are supposed to comfort the entire family not just the ones they familiar with. I’m leaving this review for maybe next time you’ll know how to treat a family as a whole even if they’re not agreeable.”

“My brother and I recently loss our youngest brother. We were referred to L. Hodges due to their great reputation and economical price for direct cremations. Ms. Chastity at L. Hodges took excellent care of everything and kept us well informed along the way. Her compassionate and responsive nature made us feel extremely comfortable with the process. She went out of her way to accommodate our needs and communicated everything in detail. We highly recommend them!!!”
