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.

“Dealing with the passing of my Grandson was extremely difficult but the staff handled everything so nicely. It was so unexpected. I don’t know what we would have done without them. They were kind, compassionate and very understanding and did their best to help us as much as possible. They helped us every step of the way and still check on us from time to time. My family thanks you so much for helping us during this very difficult time. Thanks so much to Brian and Elizabeth and all the staff at Cawley and Peoples funeral home.”

“Cawley and Peoples has met the needs of my husband and me from pre-planning to the need for cremation services recently following the unexpected death of my husband. Adam met with me and our 2 children and helped us during our time of shock and sadness. As our children live out of town and were not with their father at the time of his death, a private viewing later in the day was arranged so they could pay their respects and say goodbye. All services were delivered with compassion and respect. Adam listened as I relayed my husband’s wishes through weeping and tears and never did we feel rushed or pressured in any way. Pre-planning was definitely beneficial for our family in our time of need. I wholeheartedly recommend the services of this hometown business.”
