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 oldest sister was the first one we buried with Brown funeral home. They were awesome very professional. That was June 2009. So my mom requested that she be buried with them so she was August 2019. Then we just used them again when my son died August 2021. This is a great company, Ms. Guynell is awesome really love her for doing such an awesome job”
— Barbara Alexander
“Unprofessional to say the least. My Grandfather's services were at 1p.m. The car's picked the family up 10 minutes till 1. They were flying to and from the services slamming on brakes several times. This could be a great funeral home if professionalism and integrity were in their practice. A lot of room for growth.”
— Unique Queen Self made
“Very pleased with my experience. I dealt with Mrs. Gaynelle & Mr. Jerry the most. They did an amazing job. & Mrs. Gaynelle made me feel so comfortable with everything I can't thank her enough for being such an amazing help during a time when she was dealing with a loss of her own. God bless. Will recommend anyone to them.”
