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
“We were devastated by losing our sweet girl Sadie. But we found so much comfort in the staff at Betzler and how they handle our sweet girl with incredible compassion for Sadie and our grieving family. They arrived on time and provided us with such beautiful items of Sadie to remember her by in just a few days. Sadie was so loved and I feel they did a great job helping us to cherish her in these sweet items. The best part was Sadie was allowed to pass at home instead of in the vet clinic. She will be forever missed. We would definitely recommend Betzler to anyone who has to face the loss of a pet and wants to do it at home.”

“Brett provided the utmost reverent care to each one of us, above all being, our boy. His compassion is palpable. His desire to honor the life of our furry son in a way that leaves no question about his worth as a living being AND his necessity to our family, is authentic. Every single one of our fur children will be cared for here. From the roomier urn as to not squeeze his remains and the expedition of Koda’s return home; to the intricate capturing of his unique paw print and a surprise clipping of some of his fur to cherish. if I had to lose my first fur son, I can take breaths with less pain knowing he was divinely cared for by Brett.”
— Ang Marshall
“They are wonderful at life tails, they did a loving, caring and great job with our dog teddy bear and our other 2 dogs as well. They truly make you comfortable. I highly recommend them, very perfessional and sincere.”
