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
“What can I say other than perfection. My father passed away, and my mother chose Peterson Kramer for his cremation and funeral arrangements. The initial planning by Cindy was awesome on the initial planning. Very respectful, and thorough on what was needed. The handling of my dad was done with the highest respect, and my family is grateful for it. On the day of the funeral, Jason was there to make sure everything was done perfectly. Excellent communication for each part, and was awesome to all our guests. Highly recommend this place for saying goodbye to your loved ones. Professional, compassionate, and good communication the whole time.”
