Firearm Removal and Appraisal Services for Funeral Directors in Saint Louis

MDRF Enterprises is a federally licensed FFL and Special Occupational Taxpayer (SOT) in Saint Louis providing compliant firearm appraisals, legal transfers, and confidential purchases for estates, trusts, probate attorneys, executors, and families, including NFA-regulated firearms encountered in professional estate matters.

​

Introduction

As a funeral director, you're often the first person families turn to after a loss. When emotions are high and details matter, unexpected discoveries—like firearms—can create confusion, anxiety, and even risk.

MDRF Enterprises is here to take that burden off your plate.

We are a fully licensed and insured Federal Firearms Dealer (FFL), specializing in legal removal, documentation, and appraisal of estate firearms, including licensed handling of NFA-regulated items when such firearms are encountered during estate or probate matters. Our work is discreet, respectful, and fully compliant with Missouri and federal law.

When Guns Are Discovered After a Death

In Saint Louis, it’s not uncommon for families or estate executors to find firearms in:

• Nightstands or closets during home cleanouts

• Safes or locked cases after keyholders have passed

• Vehicles or barns weeks after burial

• Attics or basements while preparing a home for sale

These moments often occur long after you’ve completed your work, but families still come to you for answers.

Common Scenarios We Handle

🔸 Firearms left unsecured in the home after a passing
🔸 Families unaware of how to legally transfer or remove them
🔸 Guns stored near minors, guests, or caregivers
🔸 Questions around estate or probate responsibilities

 

Even well meaning families may not know what’s legal. That’s where we step in, with calm, compliant, and compassionate support.
