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
“The Powell family handled my son's funeral with such respect and dignity. I didn't know what to do in my heavy grief and they guided me through the process with such knowledge and many options. I am forever grateful as my son's funeral was so beautiful and a tribute to his life. I would recommend the Powell family at Anderson Funeral home to anyone. They are your best choice!!! Helen Hart”
— Helen Bryan
“To have a viewing of a loved one in a cardboard box, is classless and distasteful‼️ Clearly shows the compassion this company actually has for the families they service no matter how much money they may or may not have…. 0 stars if I could”
— Marc Elem
“Went here to inquire about services offered for cremation for me and my family. They were extremely helpful in understanding the process.”
