On June2-5, we held the MFDA 2022 Convention and Trade Show in Helena. Thanks to everyone who attended
— it was great to see you in person. We would also like to give a big thanks to our sponsors; we couldn’t do this without their generous support. We hope to see you at our next event.

In its most simplistic form, estate planning is the process of outlining today how you want your assets to be managed and transferred after your death. In reality, it’s much more than that.

Abuse can happen to anyone — no matter the person’s age, sex, race, religion, or ethnic or cultural background. Each year, hundreds
of thousands of adults over the age
of 60 are abused, neglected, or financially exploited. This is called elder abuse.

MFDA recently honored Niles Nelson for his service and dedication to the Montana Funeral profession. We are honored to have Niles as a member of the association. Below is a brief history of Niles life and career. We hope you enjoy getting know him better.
