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
“The staff of Layton-Anderson were professional, attentive, and helpful as we were making arrangements for my dad’s service, etc. They did not rush or push us as we were working through what could have been overwhelming details. We appreciate this so much. I felt comfortable reaching out to them as needed and Vicki was quick to respond to our questions and contact us whenever additional information/guidance was needed. They were all so pleasant in their care of our family during our acute phase of grief. Thank you for all of this. I have no hesitancy recommending them to others.”
— JE Sims
“My husband's extended family has always used Layton-Anderson when there was a death in the family so I've been there many times for visitations. When my mother passed recently, though, it was my first experience using them myself for a family member. I honestly was dreading having to plan everything, but Sue, Vickie, and Howell were all very kind and helpful. They made everything so easy and did not put pressure on me to buy the most expensive things but truly wanted to help me set things up the best way for my family. They really made a difficult process so much easier.”
— Lisa Freeman
“They were professional and kind. They made the entire funeral process a lot easier, and they were great at anticipating any questions that I had. For someone like me who has never done anything like this before, they were truly indispensable in helping me through this.”
— Steven Matthews
