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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Thank you to James Lawson and Carla Lawson, and also to Shiloh. There is nowhere else I would go. I feel you are treated better here than anywhere else. From the planning process all the way to the day of the service and burial, Shiloh and James made everything straightforward and easy to understand.”
— Silas danielson
“James and Shiloh make an excellent team. They handled my uncle’s funeral with such love and care. They were professional, kind and gentle during our hard time. Hope I don’t have to work with them again anytime soon but if I do I know where to go.”
— Katie Barrick
“Mr. Lawson and his wife are wonderful people. They’re gracious with their time and are so helpful throughout such a difficult process. There are other more renowned establishments out there, but this is the place to go for a truly personalized experience with a down to earth, local family that isn’t interested in upselling their services during such a vulnerable time. My family and I will continue to use their services as the inevitable need arises.”
