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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“They do an amazing job in tough times, always there always patient from start to finish.”
— K Smith
“Bob, Derek and their entire staff are very compassionate & caring during difficult times !”
— Deb Brakhahn
“Bob and Derek are total CLASS. They are genuine, caring and handled both of my parents funeral services several years apart. Always ready to answer any questions or concerns, both ceremonies from start to finish were beautiful and respectful. I will always remember how Bob honored my request to not remove Mom from her home after she passed - until I could quickly make it down from Omaha in the middle of the night. I wanted to at least see her with family AT HOME. I realize it isn't always feasible, but the understanding they expressed will always be remembered. Jeff Vickers, son of Bill and Marge.”
