Attention Missouri Preneed Sellers

The State Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors (Board) has initiated the third phase of the preneed seller financial examination process. All preneed sellers are required to undergo financial examinations for the purpose of ensuring Missouri preneed sellers are safeguarding preneed funds and those funds are properly utilized per contract with the consumer.

The financial examination requirement began with the significant change to Missouri statutes in 2009. Since that time, the Board and Missouri preneed sellers have gained much experience and knowledge with the preneed requirements. Past financial examinations have resulted in many Missouri preneed sellers demonstrating compliance with Missouri statute and rules.

As we enter the next phase of financial examinations, the Board will continue to require preneed sellers to submit required documentation in advance of the onsite financial examination review of preneed contracts/records. However, in the upcoming phase, the Board will consider a preneed seller's historical compliance on a case-by-case basis when determining the scope of the financial examination to be conducted. These factors may include whether a seller's prior examinations were successful, any prior findings or non-findings as the case may be, and the seller's timely participation and cooperation during the financial examination process. The order in which the examinations are conducted by the Board are selected at random.

The Board acknowledges the burden of compliance with the Missouri statutes and administrative rules and extends appreciation to Missouri preneed sellers who work diligently to demonstrate their commitment to meeting the professional standards and protecting the public.
