MFDA Services Pre-Need Program

MFDA Pre-need Trust 
 
The MFDA Pre-need Trust is available to every member! The concept of pre-need trusting has been around for many years.  The Mississippi Funeral Directors Association Pre-need Funeral Service Trust was established to fill the needs of MFDA members dealing with pre-financed funeral arrangements.  The goal is to provide funeral professionals with a competitive rate of return, fast and friendly service, and relief from the administrative burden associated with record keeping.  The Trust is administered by MFDA Services, Inc. with no fees to you!  You join the program by completing a few documents.  The trust can be used for all your pre-need clients. There is no minimum deposit required, the client can make monthly payments or choose to do a lump-sum, paid-in-full.  
 
 
What are the features and benefits of the Trust?
 
The Trust is reviewed monthly by an active group of committee members consisting of funeral directors, owners, officers, and the industry professionals, including legal counsel, accounting professionals, third party administrator, Trustee, and Investment Manager.
