“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.

“Nathan at Henderson and Sons is the best in our family's eyes! From start to finish, he was the most respectful and patient man. The service from him and the staff exceeded our expectations. You never had to worry about missing any steps in this process, he and the staff made sure everything was done and done correctly. They are the best by far. Not once but twice in less than 2 months we used Henderson and Sons. Different sides of town but same great compassionate service at either location. If you or your loved one is ever in need of their service I would choose Henderson and Sons to help guide me through this moment in life, it's always good to have someone on your side that you can trust.”
— Lori Duvall
“The staff at Henderson & Sons Funeral Home showed exceptional compassion and care during one of the most difficult times in our lives. They guided us through every step of my mother's arrangements with professionalism, always honoring our wishes and never rushing or pressuring us. We were clearly informed about what was required and given thoughtful options, which helped us feel supported and in control. Every question we had — both during our initial meeting and afterward — was answered promptly and respectfully. A special thank you to Nathan Thompson, who kindly noticed that my father was a veteran and took the initiative to assist us in obtaining a grave marker for his gravesite. That gesture meant a great deal to our family, and we are truly appreciative of his thoughtfulness. Their kindness and attentiveness made a painful experience more bearable, and their follow-up to check on our well-being and offer help with the grieving process truly speaks to their dedication. We are deeply grateful.”
— Terri Carswell
“Henderson and Sons helped me navigate through the hardest time of my life. They were accommodating and sensitive to what my family and I were experiencing. Cameron gently helped me find the strength to put my husband’s wishes into play. Their services continued even after the funeral. They have checked in on me, called me and treated me like a grieving widow rather than a customer. Thank you for being there!”
