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
“We had services for my stepfather today. Mackenzie was excellent, from beginning to end. Our family has had several family members' visitations/funerals handled by Anderson (formerly Buck-Wheeler-Hyland). The last man we had also provided an excellent experience but I feel Mackenzie offered just a bit more. She made great recommendations whenever we were unsure how to handle something. She picked a poem to close out the service at the home that was really powerful and going that extra mile was quite special. I know there are other people working behind the scenes and we appreciate all that they did to make everything come together.”

“The Community Building recently hosted the visitation and service for the late Ron Wait. Working with Anderson Funeral Home was a great experience! Mackenzie and Katrina showed a high level of professionalism, care and compassion for all involved. The entire time presented a wonderful tribute to Ron and all that he cared for in our community. I would highly suggest using Anderson Funeral Home for any of your funeral needs.”
