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?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“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
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“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.”
— Ashley Taylor
