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.

“When our family faced one of the hardest seasons of our lives, the team at Beggs Funeral Home in Monticello treated us with compassion, respect, and genuine care that went far beyond what we expected. From the first phone call to the final farewell, they handled every detail with professionalism. What truly stood out was how personal the entire process felt. They didn’t just “manage arrangements” — Ashli listened. She took the time to learn who our loved one was, what mattered to our family, and how we wanted their life to be remembered. Every element — from the service planning to the smallest touches — reflected a rare balance of empathy and precision. The staff at Beggs are the kind of people you want on your side when your world feels upside down. Their kindness was steady, their guidance was gentle, and their patience never wavered, even when emotions ran high or decisions were difficult. It’s clear they see this work not as a business, but as a calling. In a small town where community still matters, Beggs stands as a pillar of grace and professionalism. They honor both the living and the departed — and they helped our family find comfort, clarity, and peace when we needed it most. If you are ever faced with the loss of someone you love, know that Beggs Funeral Home will treat your family like their own. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to everyone there for helping us celebrate my parents lives so beautifully lived.”

“I want to give a heartfelt thanks to the staff at Beggs Funeral Home in Monticello, Florida. However, I would like to give a special thank you to Funeral Director, Ashli McCall for all her help and support during a difficult time for myself and my family. Ashli exceeded any expectation that I would have expected from a Funeral Director. Not only did she help us prepare for my husband’s Funeral she went so far as to meet us at the cemetery to find a plot for burial. Ashli made what could have been a highly stressful experience one of healing. We are very grateful to her. I highly recommend Beggs Funeral Home in Monticello, Florida. Your families hearts are safe with them. Most Sincerely, Elizabeth Crockett-Harris”

“Ashli was absolutely amazing when caring for my father and our family after my father’s passing. She was so kind and took the time to sit down and walk us through everything. Even encouraged us to share stories about my father. She never rushed us or made us feel like there was somewhere else she needed to be (even though I know she was helping multiple families through the process at the time). She is a rare gem and definitely in the right profession. The little chapel is peaceful and cute, and was perfect for the service. Though no one wants to be googling reviews for funerals homes, if you are, I highly recommend Beggs.”
