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 dad has worked with Stetson's funeral home for several years, starting with the passing of my grandmother 20 yrs ago. Stetson's offers families a trust account to cover all your final wishes. Their caring staff will help select everything needed to give you peace of mind in your final days. When my mom passed away on October 7th, 2025, Stetson's Funeral Home was contacted to complete her final wishes. From the team of ladies who came to pick her up in the middle of the night, to the directors Danny & Tommy, you couldn't ask for a better group of people. They helped up set up her wake, travel to her final resting place, flowers & working with the out of State funeral home. They made sure to check on our family through the entire process. After mom we returned home, we were contacted by Stetson's aftercare team to make sure all of mom's affairs are in order. Elizabeth with aftercare was professional and made sure I understood everything involved in closing out mom's estate. If you're looking for professional, family orientated, caring team to help with final arrangements, you should choose Stetsons. Best Wishes, Rayanne West”

“My elderly mother recently died near Brunswick Maine. Our family is not from the local area and I didn’t know where to turn to arrange for her cremation. After reading reviews for a number of funeral homes I decided to call Stetson‘s. Fortunately, Tommy Newhall answered the phone and guided me through every step of the process with compassion, understanding and transparency. He was always available by phone whenever I had a question or concern. In short, Tommy did an incredible job and exceeded my expectations in every way. Don’t hesitate to call him when the need arises for your family.”

“My wife had Alzheimer's and I wanted to be prepared when the time came. So, after some research and interviews, I decided on Stetson's and Tommy Newhall. When my wife died, Tommy had all the necessary information on the funeral service and burial. Tommy was ahead of me at every step. The service was in Brunswick, Maine, but the burial was in Massachusetts and both services went very well. I didn't have to worry about logistics or any details. I am very grateful for Tommy's assistance. The aftercare by Stetson's was equally helpful. As a retired lawyer, I thought I knew everything, but Brooke, the aftercare specialist, taught me a couple things. Tommy is still following up with arrangements for a memorial stone for which I am also grateful. He doesn't consider that his work is done until the stone is in place. Thank you, Tommy”
