When comparing funeral goods and services, it is important to compare only the final price for all items combined. Some funeral homes depend more on merchandise sales to recover their overhead than on their service and facilities charges. The only way to really compare prices is to choose all services and associated merchandise and then compare the final amount.
We at Anctil-Rochette & Son Funeral Home encourage your questions, and are always willing to give honest, straightforward answers. Please do not hesitate to e-mail with your questions. We are here to help.
The goods and services shown below are those we can provide to our customers. You may choose only the items you desire. However, any funeral arrangement you select will include a charge for our basic services and overhead. If legal or other requirements mean that you must purchase any items you did not specifically ask for, we will explain in writing on the statement we provide describing the funeral goods and services you selected.

Also included in this charge is the consultation with the family, clerical and administrative services, preparation and filing of necessary permits, consultation with clergy, cemetery, crematory, or common carrier, assistance with insurance papers, planning the funeral or memorial service, and supervision of each service requested or required.

| EMBALMING |
$ 550 |
| Embalming is a chemical process which provides temporary preservation of the body and eliminates health hazards. A person licensed by this state must complete this procedure. Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial.
