“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.

“Marlan Gary Funeral Home provided phenomenal service for our family. Our mother was transported to them from Memphis, TN and we were very pleased with the service provided. Staff was extremely compassionate and professional and Marlan took time out of his busy schedule to show up at the church. That was very much appreciated. They have provided service for other family members and mom decided she wanted to utilize them also. Continue to provide the excellent service and I know God will continue to bless your establishment. Thank you thank you thank you!!!”

“They are very unorganized. At my husband's funeral they didnt get his ashes to the ceremony on time. I'm not sure if it was my husband we buried. And now with my neices funeral they won't tell me if there is going to be a viewing. Their reply is "CALL THE FAMILY" that is very sad. The only contact you can reach is their answering service. We'll I was going to prepay for my funeral as I am 83 but not with Marlan Gary they are very disorganized.”
— Claudette Jefferson
“From the initial contact everyone has been professional but also very kind and extremely supportive. I can't say enough about how Mr. Gary made extra efforts to honor my husband as a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. It was so thoughtful. The Staff really took care to make sure not only the family was comfortable but also our friends during the visitation and service. Organized precision was very evident. Marlan Gary Furneal Service made a tough situation easier to bear.”
