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
“I am deeply grateful to Gentle Water Cremation in West Palm Beach for the compassion and professionalism they showed during one of the most difficult times of my life. They picked my husband up from hospice and contacted me right away to let me know he was safe with them. Their condolences were sincere and comforting. Before the cremation, Dan called to gently confirm whether I wanted to see my husband one last time, which I truly appreciated—it showed a level of care and respect that meant a great deal to me. The entire process was simple, clear, and handled with great sensitivity. The facility was also extremely clean and well-organized, which gave me peace of mind. Thank you, Gentle Water Cremation, for making a painful experience a little easier with your kindness and support.”

Dean explained the whole process, which made us feel more comfortable about everything. Dean took the time to make sure everything went smoothly. I am very appreciative of the time he spent helping us. This facility would definitely be mom approved, it is a very clean and friendly place. I would definitely recommend Gentle Water Cremation.”
