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
“As a hospice nurse, I work daily with families who have lost loved ones. When I contacted Williams Funeral Home to notify of a patient passing (standard protocol), they could not give an ETA and said they need to get some information from the family. An hour later, I was with another patient when the family reached out to ask who was picking the patient up. Very confusing considering I notified Williams already. I called the funeral home directly an a man told me that since the family couldn't find the descendant's insurance policy info at the moment, they would have to call another funeral home because they don't take payment plans. Now that the family has found the insurance policy info, the funeral home won't answer any calls from me or from the family. To treat a grieving family this way when they have just lost a loved one is despicable. It seems like the priority for this place is only money, and that they pack the basic empathy necessary to support families through difficult times. Shame on you, Williams Funeral Home.”

“William's is an excellent and gifted director. I couldnt have asked for a better person. He is very compassionate, kind, understanding, patient. It was a comfort to know that he was handling my moms body. He really works hard in accommodating everyone. I hope that he will stay in operation 100 more years; so that others will recieve the love and care that he gave to my family. Thank u Mr. William's God bless you”
