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
“Buster was phenomenal to work with, it was such a comfort that John sat in on the phone call as well. It truly felt like family was surrounding me with the two of them there walking me through everything. I have the upmost respect for what they do They have such caring loving hearts.”
— Patti Wallis
“I would highly recommend Preston-Hanley Funeral homes to anyone looking for their services. The staff is caring, compassionate, and very helpful. If they told us something would be done in a certain manner, it was done exactly as stated. My father had prearranged everything. When my siblings and I went to finalize plans, we were told that the casket he had picked out was no longer available. One of the replacement choices presented to us was an "upgrade" and was provided at no extra cost. In today's times where everything is an "extra cost" this was very much appreciated. This very difficult time in out lives was made a bit easier by all of the staff. Thank you Buster and your entire staff.”
— Michael Blank
“Treated like family! Helped with everything we needed to know and do concerning both our Mother and Fathers death arrangements and helped us with end of life tasks. My parents pre-planned their funeral wishes with Preston-Hanley staff and I plan to do the same.”
— Veronica Booth
