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
“I have to and I must take the time to acknowledge Floyd A. Williams Funeral Home even during this difficult time for our family. Floyd A. Williams Funeral Home is exceptional. I recently lost my sister and the level of professionalism and love that was given to us surely made it easier for us. Everything was done according to how my sister would have wanted it to be. I love the staff they made us feel so welcome and not just about money. I have to give a special thanks to Ms Janelle, she is so professional caring patient and just what a family that’s grieving would need in a time like this. I would definitely recommend this Funeral home to anyone. Thank you🥰❤️🙂↔️”

“This funeral home made my father's passing so much harder on us. They picked up his body before it was confirmed that we were using them. Addressing this was met with unbelievable difficulty. We didn't want to transfer his body again, so reluctantly, we used this funeral home. They put his obituary in the wrong newspaper (some of my dad's friends missed his services because of this mistake). Adding insult to injury, as we were about to head to the cemetery, this funeral home said they wouldn't release my dad's body for burial until the obituary was paid for. We were all sooo insulted & hurt. Totally unprofessional. We needed & deserved compassion. They should be ashamed of themselves.”
