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
“My dad passed away in January . My sister and I went to Hamlett- Dobson with my mom to make arrangements . This is a place that really cares. Carson was great! He wasn't trying to sell big. He was very helpful and compassionate. We appreciate all the help we had. My mom is not in great shape and he even let us come by and brought papers she needed to sign to the car. They went above and beyond! Thank you so much!”
— Cathy Adkins
