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
“Our family has turned to Sykes Funeral Home during two of the most painful times in our lives—first in 2012 when we lost my nephew, and again this past November when we lost his mother, my sister. In both instances, the care, compassion, and professionalism shown by the entire Sykes staff were truly exceptional. They were incredibly understanding and supportive, and they somehow managed to make an unbearable situation feel more manageable and far less stressful for our entire family. Every step of the process was handled with kindness, patience, and genuine empathy. Presleigh Sykes was absolutely remarkable. She walked me through every detail with clarity and compassion, ensuring I understood each step while providing unwavering support. Her thoughtfulness and dedication meant more to our family than words can express. I am forever grateful to Sykes Funeral Home for the care they showed our family during such difficult times. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of funeral services—you will be treated with respect, dignity, and true compassion.”

“Presleigh made my father’s funeral absolutely perfect! She recommended the best florist, made recommendations of what to serve family, got an engraved urn in time for the service, and helped print a program that incorporated everything we wanted. Since I was planning from out-of-town, her help was invaluable. Cannot say enough positive things about Sykes!”
