Jefferson City, Mo. – Missouri's largest seller of prearranged funeral contracts is suspending sales under an agreement with the State Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors. National Prearranged Services is suspending sales immediately.
In a statement, the state insurance department said sellers of prearranged funerals "have an obligation to honor the promises they've made to Missouri consumers."
But department director Doug Ommen said he could not elaborate on any allegations against the company.
And National Prearranged Services has not acknowledged any violations of state law.
