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
“Hickory Funeral Home is amazing. Brenda truly is amazing she made the process for planning my mother's funeral so easy for us. She even called and texted us after the funeral to check in on us. I would highly recommend them they truly care about the families they serve!”
— Stacey w
“Brenda, was compassionate and understanding. She and the staff has made it easy so I didn’t have to have another thing to do, especially, while mourning my Papi. I appreciate and love the two room set up and water & tissues available. They helped me to fulfill my Papi’s wishes at the viewing. After my Papi’s cremation, the staff drove to my house to hand me the urn & charms selected. It all was so helpful for me, and they were angels in my time of need. Thank you again for everything, and I definitely recommend to anyone I know! 🥲”
— Denise Oyola
