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
“I cannot say enough about how incredible Kim and everyone at Daehler’s was when handling my mother’s arrangements. It felt like we were making the plans with good friends. They took such good care of her from the moment they picked her up through seeing her buried, and everything on the day of the funeral was flawless. I would recommend them over and over again.”
— Hannah Grimm
“The funeral director Kim and the staff were fantastic. They helped us through a difficult period with compassion and empathy in addition to being a great resource for guidance. I couldn't imagine receiving better service.”

“I would like to thank Kim and her staff for the opportunity of helping me through this crucial time for me. They helped me through my Mom's funeral arrangements with care and much sympathy. They made it easier on me in my time of need. The staff has really cleaned up the inside and have done a wonderful job about the smell that used to be in there. I would highly recommend them for your funeral/cremation needs. Their prices are very reasonable and affordable. I was very impressed with the service they provided.”
