About
Foster Family Funeral Chapel & Cremation Services, LLC was a Missouri-based funeral home serving the communities of Carrollton, Norborne, and Waverly. The business provided traditional funeral services, cremation options, and preneed funeral planning to families in west-central Missouri. Operating under the name 'Foster Funeral Chapels,' the establishment offered a range of end-of-life services including visitations, funeral ceremonies, and cremation arrangements designed to honor the lives of loved ones. The company also sold preneed funeral contracts, allowing individuals to prearrange and prepay for their funeral services to alleviate future burdens on family members.
According to public records, the business was licensed as a funeral establishment at three locations, with a primary address at 201 S Main Street in Carrollton, MO 64633, and additional chapels at 300 South Elm Street in Norborne, MO 64668, as well as in Waverly. The Norborne location is specifically referenced in the business name 'Foster Family Funeral Chapel & Cremation Services, LLC' and was listed as 300 South Elm, Norborne, MO. The company also held a preneed seller license and a preneed provider license, reflecting its involvement in advance funeral planning.
Regulatory oversight fell under the Missouri State Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors, a division of the Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance. In December 2023, the Board took disciplinary action against Foster Family Funeral Chapel & Cremation Services, LLC, revoking six licenses associated with the business. These included the funeral establishment licenses for all three locations, the preneed seller license, the preneed provider license, and the funeral director license of Anna Marie Foster. The revocation was based on violations of Chapter 333, RSMo, and related board rules.
As a result of this action, the business is no longer permitted to operate as a licensed funeral establishment or to sell or service preneed funeral contracts. The company was required to transfer all active preneed contracts and related funds to another licensed seller in accordance with board regulations. The Google Maps listing for the Carrollton location currently shows the business as 'Temporarily Closed,' with no operating hours listed.
The official website, fosterfuneralchapels.com, and a Facebook page for 'Foster Family Funeral Chapel and Cremation Services, LLC' exist but may no longer be actively maintained.

In summary, Foster Family Funeral Chapel & Cremation Services, LLC was a multi-location funeral home providing burial and cremation services in rural Missouri, but it ceased licensed operations following regulatory sanctions in late 2023.
