Alfred Roy & Sons Funeral Home

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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“Choosing Mike Marchand for our brother Fr Ted’s funeral was the best decision we made. He was able to handle and coordinate all the details in a way that made the whole process very smooth for the family. He is a very knowledgeable and experienced professional”
— Paul Laperle
“My wife's family has always used Alfred Roy and Sons whenever a loved one was lost. I had accompanied her to talk with Michael on those occasions. When my mother passed recently, I knew where to turn for our needs. I can't express enough what a professional Michael is. He will listen, ask the right questions and help guide you through the process. I never felt pressured to spend money on things that we did not need. All details of laying my mom to rest were handled without any problems. And there was no problems with communicating with Michael when needed. He was very responsive.”
— Ronald Prest
“We have attended many, many family and friends' funerals here at Alfred & Sons Funeral Home and the most recent our childhood friend, Mr. David Mancini's last year in 2024. What Mr. Alfred Roy's own Funeral Director's obituary recently conveyed is all so true how Mr. Roy and his sons and his entire Staff treated us all like we are their very own family with compassion, empathy, loving care, mercy, kindness, respect and with honest tears. May Father God's Own Heart of Compassionate Care, Tender Mercies, Loving Healing Touch Grace ALL of Mr. Alfred Roy's Sons and the entire Roy Family and Friends and Family Staff with His One and Only Son Christ Jesus' Own Forgiveness and Contentment to fill you up to overfilling. May Yeshua Messiah Jesus Christ's Red Crimson Blood wash you anew with His Free Flowing Good Graces and Light to have you recall only the BEST ever fondest memories of your dearly beloved sir Alfred Roy. With Christ' Love and Gratitude for your many acts of kindness to Him for us all, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph and Patricia Neeland Shrewsbury, Massachusetts (originally from Worcester, Mass)”
