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
“My grandson died unexpectedly & tragically on Feb. 19, 2025. A friend of my son in law referred him to D.W. Swick Funeral Home in Sciotoville Oh. This was the very best decision for our family. Staff was very supportive and empathetic to our grief but most of all willing to work with us financially. It's hard enough to deal with losing a loved one, but when there is no life insurance the burden of how to set them at rest feels insurmountable. Dee Swick and the Swick family (including staff members) were patient, understanding & kind. It felt to me as though they were hurting right along with us. The family was given pretty much free reign in planning the funeral and we felt at peace when it was over. I recommend D.W. Swick Funeral home as the place to contact when you don't know where to turn or who to contact in the event of death in the family.”
