Endorsed and Recommended Companies

Before a company and/or product is endorsed by the Missouri Funeral Directors & Embalmers Association it must receive the MFDEA Benefits, Products and Services Committee's recommendation along with approval from the Board of Directors of MFDEA.

The Benefits, Products and Services Committee, which is comprised of MFDEA members from across the state, meets and conducts interviews of companies seeking an association endorsement of their product. During each interview, the committee's goal remains firm - to procure quality products and Services, while realizing substantial cost savings available only through their MFDEA affiliation.

One glance at the list of endorsed companies shows the associations commitment to offer its membership a variety of products specifically designed to cater to the unique needs of the funeral profession.  Take time to check out the following companies.
