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
“Both Bracewell's, Bob and Dane took great care of our family They were very thoughtful and thorough in everything we needed. Making plans ahead made the service, this past February, easier for everyone. I am so very thankful that this family business is here to serve family needs at this most difficult time.”
— Laverna Hubbard
“We unfortunately lost our seven-month-old baby to a very rare mitochondrial disorder. During this difficult time, Newton Bracewell truly went above and beyond for us. The mausoleum is always impeccably maintained, and they even adorned it with a stunning Christmas tree decorated with ornaments featuring our baby's name. This thoughtful gesture made the holidays a little easier to bear, knowing our child is resting in such a beautiful place. Our family highly recommends them. Thank you, Newton Bracewell.”
— Rachelle Stelzner
