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
“Cynthia sat with my family after our mom had passed, my mom only had certain amount of life insurance and my brothers and sisters would have to help me with the rest. Cynthia was able to help us afford our share of mom’s last expense. She checked on myself and family members helping us with this and made this last thing we had to do for our mom so much easier. I appreciate everyone at the funeral home for everything they did to help ease our pain.”
— Karen Sadler
“I can't say enough about Cade Helfenbein and all the staff at FHN Funeral Home. Their care and professionalism really help you through a tough time. They lead you all the way through the process and it doesn't end after the funeral service. They follow up with you afterwards to make sure you're doing okay. I highly recommend their services.”
— Kimberly Hoxter
“Nothing but great things to say about FHN, unfortunately we have needed them a lot this year. However, they have risen to the occasion and made our situations as stress free as possible. I would recommend them to anyone, and they will be the ones I trust to handle my arrangements. Which I am taking care of now, so it’s not a burden on my family when that time comes. I recommend pre planning to anyone.”
