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
“Shortly before Christmas, we lost our dad. This time of year when we hold family close, has made our loss especially difficult. From the first call to the funeral home, all of the staff were extremely helpful. They did everything they could to make the process smooth and easy. Ray was so kind and supportive throughout the entire process. Russ, Kenny, and Ty were good friends of my dad’s and the legacy they have created is very evident.”
— Christopher May
“We lost dad Charles R Lewis on Dec 19, 2025. He'd been sick for 2 years. When he passed, it was devastating and we were afraid of how unrecognizable he would be during the viewing. He looked absolutely amazing and it gave us so much comfort in processing our tremendous loss. He looked at peace and we are very grateful for the care received by Ray Johnson and staff”
— Valerie Smith
“Cody made a challenging process very easy. He was hands-on, included me in every step, and ensured I was aware of the timing and process. The end result was even better. The bench looks better than I imagined!”
