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
“I am beyond irritated with how this company has handled business with something as emotional as getting a headstone for my mother. I ordered the headstone and paid for it in November 2024. The owner at the time communicated with me that it was almost done in September. By November I called to check on the status and was told the headstone actually had never been ordered. The excuse has been they switched owners in the process of our order. They have never called to follow up with me about anything regarding our purchase. They took our money and ended communication. Every time I call they either can’t find it or it’s still being ordered. This is not how you handle business with grieving families.”
— Kayla Navejas
“Terrible business to deal with. Four months ago, they promised my mother the stone would be ready and installed within a month, but it’s still not done. Every time I call, I get vague answers with no clear timeline. The owner and his staff are extremely unprofessional and disorganized. Don’t trust Monuments of the South with creating a stone for your loved ones. It feels like they just want the money and don’t actually care about the work or the families they serve.”
— Amanda
“Highly recommend Monuments of the South! I can’t say Thank You enough beginning with Jenny Reynolds who helped me design the most beautiful piece of art (headstone/prayer bench)to honor my husband, and kept me informed about where they were at different stages of producing everything! Special thanks to Tyler and Max for all their hard work with the install…extremely professional and a valuable asset to their company! Please let them quote you…Monuments of the South’s quote was 1/2 the cost of my 1st quote!!!”
