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 first called to inquire about end of time arrangements, Mrs. Ruby was so nice over the phone. When the day finally came, we were so distraught but the staff of Wilson Wooddale Funeral Home was so comforting and very knowledgeable of services needed. We had a sit down with Mrs. Ruby and she was so reassuring and understanding of our situation. My mom was cremated and we all thought that seeing her at the hospital would have been our final time with her. But once we finished with paperwork, Mrs. Ruby asked if we wanted to see our mom. My stomach cringed. We were not expecting that but at the same time we were happy that we had that time with her. She looked so peaceful. Her skin was glowing. You would have thought she was taking a nap. If our mom were to be buried instead, I know she would have been taken good care of with the upmost care and respect. My sister's and I were definitely pleased with the presentation and appearance of our mom and the placement of her ashes in our individual family urns. Wilson Wooddale Funeral Home is highly recommended by The Cager Family and now in my future burial portfolio for my husband and I when our time comes to make that decision. Thank you to Mrs. Ruby and the staff of Wilson Wooddale Funeral for being so thoughtful and caring during our time of grief. Thank you for taking time out to check on us and how we're adjusting. 🙏❤️😊”
