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
“During one of the most difficult times in our lives, this funeral home was truly a blessing. From The very first call, their team was compassionate patient and incredibly supportive. They treated us like family, not just clients and made sure every detail was handled with care and dignity. The professionalism is unmatched they walk us through every step, answered all of our questions, and make sure I loved one was honored beautifully in a time of deep grief and uncertainty they provide provided comfort, guidance, and peace of mind.. We are beyond grateful for their kindness, respect, and the genuine compassionate show our family. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to be cared for with empathy and professionalism doing a sensitive time. So this day, I can contact Mr. J Garrett and his response is immediate with compassion and concern.”

“Garrett Family Mortuary was very professional and accommodating. Mr. Jay T. Garrett was very professional and made us feel comfortable. He made sure we understood our options, and helped us make informed decisions that made the most sense. Our family will always appreciate the compassion he showed us and his attention to detail. He listened and delivered! Thank you for your service.”
— Maia Davis
“My family had two tragic deaths within 5 months and we are so grateful for The Garrett Family Mortuary for guiding us through both services. They do their absolute best to provide a service that truly honors your loved one. Jay is one of the most compassionate and considerate people I’ve ever encountered. My brother was unjustly killed by the police while suffering a mental crisis in late 2023. Preparing a service for him while being forced into a need for prayer vigils, rallies and calls for accountability was extremely difficult. Jay held our hand from the moment our family contacted him and long after the service ended. Our Matriarch and my Mema passed away nearly 5 months to the day we lost my brother after celebrating her 93rd birthday. Again Jay and the entire staff offered us compassion and support. They understand the loss of a love one is the hardest time of our lives. Garrett Family Mortuary is committed to making that final farewell we say to our love ones as easy on the entire family as possible. Both services were absolutely beautiful. Our family can’t thank you enough Garrett Funeral Mortuary 🙏🏽”
