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
“Mason Woodard is the best and they definitely went above and beyond for our family. Kris went out of her way to make my stepdads service a personal tribute. I do highly recommend Mason Woodard and I will be going back to make rearrangement for myself. Thank you again to the amazing staff for all they did for our family during this difficult time.”
— K H
“The staff was extremely helpful and showed great compassion while assisting me and my mother-in-law after my ex-husband’s passing. I cannot thank them enough or praise them enough for their kindness and support.”
— Nancy Detwiler
“I keep taking my brothers necklace out of the baggie they gave me with his belongings (which I had to ask for) because I can't believe he's gone. They didn't remove it when he was cremated. They got the chain, but not the 2.5" pendant. How does that happen? It smells like burned flesh and I hope the flakes in the bag are from the metal and not his flesh that was baked into it. They also didn't seperate out ashes for distribution like they said they would do for me. Now I have to scoop my brothers ashes into seperate bags for family. I am so heart broke and devestated. I want to thank Austin. While they did make mistakes, they also tried to do what they could to make it, if not right, easier on the family in our time of grief. I chose MW because they gave us such good service when my father passed. We are all human and sometimes it's hard to remember that.”
