Third-Generation Funeral Home McClain-Hays Partners with Family-Owned Funeral Service

PHILADELPHIA, MS - NewBridge Group, a leading deathcare succession planner, is pleased to announce the acquisition of McClain-Hays Funeral Service to Rollings Funeral Service. This transaction marks the first location in Mississippi for Rollings.  

Established in 1937, McClain-Hays is a third-generation funeral home that has served Philadelphia and the surrounding Central Mississippi area for almost 100 years. Chuck McClain, grandson of founder Jack McClain, and his wife, Kim, have been a husband and wife team at their funeral home for forty years and were pleased to find a similar partnership in Greg and Debbie Rollings.  

“With Greg and Debbie Rollings,” McClain explained in a posted letter to his community, “we found they represent the same values and knew they would be the perfect fit to help continue the legacy of service that McClain-Hays Funeral Service is known for…This new partnership will allow access to an array of resources that will help us better serve our families.” 

NewBridge President Tony Kumming added, “We are proud to work alongside private buyers like Rollings who epitomize the family business; I believe that many other family-owned funeral homes recognize the operational support Rollings can provide while still protecting the legacy of their business name.”
