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
“Attended the Perry County Chamber of Commerce Networking Event held here on September 11, 2024. Street parking only. There is no parking lot. Family run business that is affiliated with 3 other funeral homes. Owns their own crematory, so your loved one never leaves their care. Green burials are available. Meaning: Deceased placed directly in the ground without a casket or embalming. You can inquire about all the particulars. Pre-planning is available with knowledgeable staff. Does hold educational events throughout the year.”

“Everyone was great to deal with. My dad’s services were perfect. The video was amazing too!! I would highly recommend them!!”
— Christina Simpkins
“When my Dad passed away I called and left 5 different messages asking if they would please call me so I could arrange a time to go see him. No one returned my calls. I called a 6th time and finally got put through to the funeral director to be told my sisters and I weren’t allowed to see him. No exceptions. I tried to post on my Dad’s tribute wall and the post was deleted. Again unprofessional. Would never recommend if this is how a business conducts themselves during a period of grief.”
