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
“Palmer Funeral home was in charge of my husbands cremation and all details. They were very professional, courteous,caring and helpful. Appreciate all Brandon and Lynn did and helped me with! I highly recommend them.”
— Paula Tibbs
“From the time I called, not having a clue what I was doing and just asking questions the moment they picked up, to the time from his on-schedule to bring my father's remains to me and save me from going myself, Aaron Wagers was the most professional, absolutely caring human you could ever ask for in a time of complete chaos that any funeral arrangements can be. I wouldn't ever trust myself or another family member to anyone outside of Palmer's team, and I can't thank Aaron enough for all his compassion and complete respect at every juncture of that journey.”
— Phil Milton
“Kerry and his team made the entire process very easy and stress-free, when there is so much happening w.out of town guests and missing a lived one. We also had some extenuating circumstances that were to say the least difficult w.regard to some organ donation, and it was simply "handled". 100% recommend the palmer family for any end of life needs”
— Lance Roush
