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
“From the day my mom passed, Jerry Roberts and Flanner-Buchanan have been by my side, taking care of each task. This is my first family death and without Jerry's help I would have not known what to do or where to start. Professional and class act! Thank you.”
— Lori Hennessy
“I highly recommend Flanner Buchanan for your loved ones burial/cremation needs. Jamie Weyer, the Funeral Director in Carmel, was especially wonderful to work with during a very difficult time. She was most supportive, patient, explaining all in detail, and always there to answer any questions I had along the way. She made sure the funeral was arranged and everything was organized on the day. Her pleasant and professional manner helped make a difficult day so much easier for me.”
— Christine Sullivan
“Wonderful, caring associates. Jamie is very kind, compassionate, understanding and supportive. She explained the process and helped guide me, presenting all of the options available (we had nothing pre planned). Adrienne is also kind, supportive and caring. She heard what we were looking for, showed us options and helped make it happen. Caitlin provided additional support/ resources to help us through this difficult time. Great team to work with, especially in a stressful situation. Thank you!”
