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
“Beautifully and meticulously maintained final resting places for loved ones. Absolutely gorgeous sculptures outside of and stained glass in some of the mausoleums. Peaceful and incredibly breathtaking.”
— Robin S
“Stopped here to specifically see this beautiful weeping angel and we really were in for so many beautiful and serene sights. Grounds kept very well. Definitely stop here at least once if you are in town. You won’t be disappointed.”
— Tonya Johnson-Jenkins
“The Statue of the Weeping Angel can be difficult to find. If you are at the front of the cemetery, and see the large, tall chapel-looking building, and the big hill with a statue of a man on a horse, you are in the right place! Facing the hill with the statue, look to your left, about 100 feet away will be a mausoleum with pillars. That's where the Weeping Statue is. The name on the outside of the mausoleum is "Chapman Hyams" The Angel is back-lit by a beautiful blue stained glass window. You can't go inside the actual mausoleum, but the gates have openings large enough to get a decent picture. The rest of the cemetery is still a neat experience overall. We didn't go looking for any of the other notable people interred here, but just enjoying walking around leisurely admiring the stone and marble work.”
