“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

“Truly amazing business or better yet extended family. The kindness, respect and understanding during one of the most difficult times in a person's/families life was beyond amazing and a truly amazing feeling. We lost our loved one out of nowhere and Corey and company were very helpful, understanding,and respectful. They kept us informed the entire process. They handled everything very professionally and yet made us feel like part of the family. I will recommend Corey and company to anyone looking to have the love and support a person and their family needs during one of the most difficult times. Pricing is beyond amazing for the type of company they are. As long as they are in business they'll receive our business. May God Bless Corey and family!! Thank yous so much for everything we truly appreciate it/yous!!”

“Corey and Kenia handled my father's cremation with caring and expertise. They made sure that the entire process was handled with care at a time of such deep grief. My family and I live in N.C. but their company made it possible to handle everything online by filling out the short form and paying for the services chosen online with ease. Shortly upon completing the form and making the payment I was called by Kenia who answered all of my questions and made sure that everything was accurate on the form. Corey picked up my father's remains from the coroner within 48 hours of completing the form and making the payment. Within 5 days of starting the process my father was cremated and his remains and death certificate was mailed to me. Kenia and Corey made this process so easy and seamless for me after my father's sudden death. I highly recommend them for their experience, caring, seamless process and BEST PRICE IN PENNSYLVANIA!!! For a simple cremation. Sadly my father's body was badly decomposed so there was no need for any type of funeral services. Kenia made contact with me at every step from the remains being picked up to calling me from the post office to let me know the remains were being mailed as well as sending me a photo of the postal receipt showing the tracking number and date I should receive his remains and death certificate. They made sure to handle this entire process expeditiously and professionally with the upmost dignity and respect. We absolutely highly recommend them for their exceptional customer service for cremation and the other services they provide. Mine and my family's sincere heartfelt thanks to Corey and Kenia whom I will be be forever grateful to them for aiding me and taking such good care of me in this most difficult time and saddest process in my life!

“Strauch Funeral Home handled my father Emerson Husted’s arrangements with such compassion and care. Living out of state, I was overwhelmed by the thought of managing everything from afar, but Corey and his team made the entire process seamless. Corey was truly amazing, he walked me through every detail with patience, empathy, and professionalism. I always felt supported and never rushed. During one of the hardest times in my life, Strauch Funeral Home made sure everything was handled with dignity and respect. I’m incredibly grateful for their kindness and guidance.”
