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
“this is gotten significantly worse in the last five or six years it is totally overgrown now none of the grass is being cut except around Arthur Ashe”
— Kevin Moore
“Visited October 9, 2023 to find the cemetery restored to how I remembered it back in the 1990s. My great aunt was buried in Woodland Cemetery in 1991. I had heard about the neglect of the cemetery since then. I was surprised and happy to see the recent restoration for myself. Great Job to the volunteers and the Woodland Cemetery Preservation for saving this sacred place.”
— Bernard Whiting Jr
“In the last 2 years Marvin Harris and his group have worked with hundreds (if not thousands) of volunteers, Henrico County and numerous other organizations and companies to change the trajectory of this once forgotten area. This amazing and historic location is the permanent resting place of several luminaries including Arthur Ashe and the Rev. John Jasper. At over 100 years old, time has not been kind to Woodland Cemetery as years of overgrowth and neglect have obscured more than ten thousand gravesites and markers. The recent progress to record burials, remove trees, repair roads and make it accessible to both families of the deceased and the community has been nothing short of remarkable. I would strongly encourage you to find a way to become involved in this piece of history and do whatever you can, large or small, to make a difference in preserving this important part of our shared history.”
— M. Hunter Haglund
