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
“When I requested references to arrange my father's home going services, I was told this funeral home went above and beyond. I was not disappointed. They were very professional, efficient, dedicated, and caring. The funeral director, the limo driver, the office staff, even the motorcade security all took this task as if it were their own family. That is how they made me feel and that was my experience with the Diehl-Whittaker team. They strove for excellence and they made us feel like family. We are grateful to Diehl-Whittaker for the care and expertise they lent in facilitating this day for our dear departed Father.”
— Jai

The kindness shown to us, from Lori and the entire staff, is something that will live in my heart forever. Lori, thank you for your gentle soul and the time you took out of your day to support my mother as we were learning our choices and processing everything. Although we came to you for support during a difficult time in our lives, you showed us grace, support, and handled us with care. There are no words that can express the gratitude that I have for you all.”
