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
“A true guiding light during one of the hardest moments of my life. Smith Funeral Directors cared for my mother—and for our family—with compassion, dignity, and unwavering professionalism. From picking up her body in Nashville, TN, to lowering her coffin in Memphis, TN, they handled every detail seamlessly across the state and were always just one phone call away. They gently guided me through each step, including obtaining the death certificate, and struck the perfect balance between professionalism and heartfelt compassion. Because of them, I was able to focus on grieving and supporting my family, knowing my mother was being honored with the utmost care. I am deeply grateful to the Smith Funeral Directors team and recommend them without hesitation.”

“Today was my granny's day to be put to her final rest and after the funeral, this was a terrible day and experience. I do not understand how the burial site got messed up but that was truly traumatic. The wait we had to endure waiting to be escorted to the correct location was long. Then the escort drove recklessly as if we did something. I would suggest you make sure your people are taken to correct location and correct plot, bc i forgot to mention she was almost lowered in someone else's plot. Disappointed is an understatement.”

“Smith Funeral Directors were wonderful to work with both before and after the passing of my father. Their pre-planning arrangements were easy to navigate, and they answered all of our questions. The handling of funeral arrangements was seamless including preparation of the body, viewing, and service in their chapel. Mr. Melvin and Mr. Jai were very nice, responsive, and showed grace. I highly recommend their services.”
