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
“While helping plan my uncles funeral at Anderson Funeral Homes my family worked with Jody. We were treated with care and respect. He did a very nice job walking us through options for the service and memorials at our own pace. I'm happy to say that Anderson Funeral Homes took much of the worry off our shoulders so we could grieve together. We all appreciate the individual care and attention we received.”
— Amanda Staudemeyer
“Anderson Funeral Home were very sincere and helpful in making my Dad's funeral plans with his very unexpected death. They answered all our questions and gave us ideas when we had not thought of things. They stayed in touch with us after his funeral checking on us (Dad's family) and offered us services to help us continue our healing journey. My Dad was a veteran and currently not a member of AMVETS or Legion and they got in touch with a Legion to do the Military Service. I would recommend them to anyone. Loved their patience and caring also their attentiveness to make things go smoothly.”
— Mitzi Schoening
“Our family recently went through the process of pre-arrangement with the Anderson Funeral Home. They made the process of pre-arrangement easy by explaining our options and allowing us to make the decisions that made sense for us. The staff members were pleasant, easy to talk to, and understand. After we made our original arrangements, we decided to make some last minute changes. The Anderson Funeral Home accommodated our request and made their schedule work for our family. We highly recommend Anderson Funeral Home for your burial planning.”
