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 family has hired Shooks for two of our precious family members who passed away in the past few years. Each time was a caring and peaceful experience. I did not assist with planning the funeral, other family members handled that. But all the interactions I had with staff was pleasant. Thank you for taking good care of my family in our time of sorrow.”
— Kira Lang
“I am so thankful to Joe Shook and his entire staff for their care, concern, and professional treatment as we planned for and executed my aunt's final arrangements. They guided me through the whole process step by step and made things easier for me any way they possible could in a very caring and comforting way. And, their home is very well kept and decorated beautifully. I give them my highest recommendation.”
