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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“This is the best funeral home by far in Memphis and surrounding area. Rodney and the other staff treat you like family from the moment you arrive. They are good Christian people who genuinely care about you and what you are going through. They have honestly restored my faith that good people still exist. This is not just a job for them, its their calling. He worked with me past midnight the night before my Father's viewing to make sure everything was perfect for him. The funeral home was very clean and smelled wonderful. The decor inside is beautiful. We will always use them for all our funeral needs from here on out.”
— Rebecca Reyes
“Mr. Rodney Williams is so very kind and just a wonderful man! He has provided service to my family on two occasions, during extremely difficult times and I know we could not have managed anything without him. Even though we were 90 miles away, everything was handled promptly and exactly to our wishes. There was never any pressure to change our plans or increase our spending. In fact he saved us so much expense with his generosity. He was in frequent contact with me and kept me updated through the entire process. I plan to use Williams Funeral Home for all future needs, including my own. Thank you Mr. Rodney!!”
— Jan Baker
“Signature handled the arrangements for my step-fathers funeral. Rodney immediately came across as a caring individual who was in the business to help families during their time of grief. He had packages to fit every budget and he made it clear that he was there to get us everything we wanted. My step-dad was a veteran and Rodney made all the arrangements with the VA to assure my loved one received all he deserved. I also found out that Rodney handles a lot of the unclaimed veterans remains and assures they are buried with dignity. I would highly recommend this funeral home and its services to anyone, no matter what religion or ethnicity.”
