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
“The folks at Stoudenmire and Stoudenmire-Dowling have served our families (mine and my husband’s) for over 50 years. We have been treated consistently with professionalism, care, respect, and yes, even love, over and over. Our needs, both physical and emotional, were met with true concern. The office staff feels like family to me. John, Wanda and Lenora held our hands when I lost both parents, a brother, a baby girl and many other close family relatives. During the last 7 months, the staff (John, we miss you) has helped us navigate the loss of both my husband’s parents. We cannot say enough about our friends at Stoudenmire Dowling. I recently told Lenora she can’t retire until they take care of me when it’s my time. God bless you all. Connie and Dave Shroyer”
— Connie Shroyer
“Would not recommend - I called this morning for some information on having my mother cremated and there was no condolences given. It was a total business transaction. Worst experience for someone who just lost a loved one.”
— Alie Young-Davis
“The most kindest, amazing people! Walked me through the whole process and was amazing with the care of my Mom! Hands down the best in Florence!”
— Ashley Cain
