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.

“I wish I never had to review a Funeral Home. But, with the loss of my amazing husband 5 weeks ago I was so grateful and appreciative of Lankford. Austin was so caring and listened to me for our needs. He answered all our questions with sincere understanding and made sure that day was exactly as my husband deserved. The home is immaculate and spacious. He was with us every step of the way.”

Their staff showed remarkable compassion, guiding us every step of the way, through all the difficult decisions. We felt so blessed, knowing everything was being taken care of and the sincere approach gave us such peace. Lankford funeral home went above and beyond, every little detail from the video they made for us, to the gravesite service, from the church service to the reception, they handled it all. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Lankford from the bottom of my heart. Terri Clifton”
