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
“Thank you Jeff Bell and staff, for helping us plan the perfect service for my Mother. The layout of your funeral home is the perfect place to host a large group. We especially want to thank you for helping with the details that we wanted and going out of your way to help, the video and card you made were beautiful, and Reverend Farther Thomas Belczak was wonderful! Thanks for all you do!”
— David Wickman
“I first would like to thank Jeff and everyone else who works here to help me durning this hard time when making the arrangements for my father. They are all wonderful caring people. Jeff showed sincere compassion and empathy towards me and my family. He made the decision making easy for me and took care of everything where it allowed me to focus on other matters I needed to handled. The communication and information Jeff provided me was so helpful. He made phone calls to the florist as I sat there because I had a specific question about a certain flower I wanted as well as called the cemetery to get another question I had. The funeral home is beautiful, the location is perfect, right downtown Plymouth. With it being right downtime it allowed the kids to step away and walk downtown and others could walk around the corner to grab a beverage or a bite to eat if needed. I would also like to add that I had so many people saying how nice the funeral home was and how beautiful it was. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you Schrader-Howell for everything from me and my family.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shrader - Howell Funeral Home and their incredible team. During two of the most difficult times in my life - losing my mom and then my dad just 10 months apart - they provided our family with compassionate, dignified care that went above and beyond anything we could have expected. From our very first meeting, their kindness was evident. They treated both of my parents with the utmost respect and handled every detail with such care and professionalism. What truly stood out was how they remembered our family when we returned for my dad’s service. Shrader-Howell made us feel supported and they genuinely cared about helping us through our grief. The staff guided us through every step with patience and understanding, never making us feel rushed or overwhelmed. They honored my parents’ memories beautifully and helped create services that truly reflected who they were. During the hardest moments of my life, Shrader - Howell Funeral Home was a source of comfort and support. I’m deeply grateful for everything they did for my family, and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone facing the loss of a loved one.”
