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.

“Tranquility was a shinning light for me at a trying time. Their caring and customer service was above and beyond. They handled EVERYTHING for me and even dropped my mom's ashes and DC's to my house. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Samantha and Dave. Thank you!!! Your process needs no improvement and I have not said that many times in life. I highly recommend Tranquility to everyone.”
— Michelle Boswell
“There is nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said in all of the other reviews. Tranquility is great, but Kelly is exceptional. She greets you with a smile that makes you feel like old friends. Her communication and compassion are unmatched. Of course having a more green alternative in Wilmington is great, but at the end of the day your loved one is gone and the end result is the same. What made Tranquility stand out for me was, you guessed it, Kelly. Like I said before, I can’t say anything that these other reviews haven’t already said – Tranquility Aquamation really does make the process easy, and Kelly really is the best!”
— Sam Mitchell
“I can't say enough about Tranquility Cremation. Samantha was very compassionate during the worst time of our lives and she took such amazing care of our baby. If you need cremation services, please call them.”
