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
“My Mom passed early on a Thursday morning. Alyssa from Roberts was able to meet with family that afternoon. Within an hour Alyssa had the service planned and organized. The Mass and service went very well. Roberts also offered an aftercare phone meeting, Kathie was very knowledgeable and phone meeting was valuable.”

“When I lost my husband at the beginning of Feb 2025, it was devastating! He had died at home and for a while my home was filled with first responders, who were wonderful!! A woman arrived from Roberts Funeral Home, located in Winthrop, Maine and she was just wonderful!! She showed so much empathy and caring!! It did not stop there~~ everyone I spoke or dealt with,,,Tom Newhall, Rilee Newhall, and Leon Roberts (who knew my husband personally), were all just so professional and caring!! They treated me like I was their family and surrounded me with caring and support!! I will never forget this. I recommend Roberts Funeral Home and Cremation Care to anyone who has lost a loved one,,,,they are just fantastic. Thank you all for all you've done. I would also truly recommend on people to use the Family First Aftercare program!! They realize how very overwhelming all of this can be. I spoke with Kathy Mills who was not just very professional but also very caring of what people are going through at this time!! Thank you so much Kathy!! I highly recommend to use this service~~so very helpful!!”
