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.

“We chose Baxter's to handle my dad's arrangements when he past in late July. They were wonderful. They listened and never tried to sell us anything that we didn't want. It was a straight to cremation so nothing to involved but still asked what we were doing with the ashes and took it as such. Will definitely be using there services again when unfortunately needed. They are a great group working there.”
— Michael Brandt
“Hailee Howard made it so easy to get the extract services wanted. She answered all questions and work with the cremation services so we could be there on his birthday and send him off the way he would have liked. I can't say enough about this experience. It's hard enough when you lose your spouse. It helps to know they are being taken care of with the best in mind for them. All the staff at Baxter's are kind, friendly and knowledgeable as bout services they provide.”
