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.

“We had a family member pass away suddenly. He was a veteran. The family was trying to navigate the VA process. The woman they dealt with was extremely rude. My husband wanted to see this family member before cremation. They were told they had until 4 pm. He and another family member went at 2 pm and they refused to allow them to see him. My husband is crushed. I will NEVER recommend this funeral home to anyone. To treat grieving family members this way is disgusting. .”

“I would never take a loved one to any one else but John and Susan Stroup! They treat the family with compassion and empathy! They go above and beyond to help the family with every detail, respect and kindness! It is a hard time for families and they help people through the hard times!”
— Louise Walton
“My husband passed away on June 19, 2014 at home after a long illness. John and Susan Stroup owners of Belton-Stroup Funeral Home were very kind, helpful and treated me with the greatest respect. When their staff, actually Susan and a staff member came to take my husband to their Funeral Home my husband was treated with a great amount of respect. They honored all my wishes and made this sad time for me a bit more peaceful. All my requested arrangements and questions were honored. They and their staff were sympathetic to my needs and emotional situation. Thank you John, Susan and your staff for helping me with your kind words, beautiful care of my husband and for making it more peaceful to manage at this sad time of my life. You are truly a wonderful and caring Funeral Home for the person who has passed and their family. I'm blessed that you have been a part of my husband and my life. Thank You!”
