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
“Through the planning of my mother’s funeral, preparing my father’s service, and my sister’s unexpected funeral in the last six years, we have been honored by the professional and comforting presence of Ryan Murphy and the whole staff at Fricke Calvert Schrader. I knew our needs as the grieving family would come first, but the team went above and beyond to make all of the big decisions seamless and as painless as possible. So grateful to the whole crew, but especially Ryan Murphy.”
— Jennifer Keith
“As a local minister, I've worked closely with FCS for the last 6 years. They are very professional, communicate well, and work with compassion to help each and every family. At a time when many people are lost, confused, and distraught, you will find comfort and receive direction throughout the entire process. They seem to operate as if each person is their own sibling, spouse, child, parent, or friend. If you need a funeral home, I would start here.”
— Casey McCormick
“When it was time to say goodbye to our dad, we realize our lives had changed forever. When losing a loved one, the care, guidance & support shared by all the staff at the Fricke- Calvert-Schrader Funeral home in Lincoln, helped making the arrangements for fulfilling our dad's final wishes, a more bearable and honorable experience. Thank you for being there for our family!”
