Funeral Services Inc. (FSI) appointed Jack Hirsch as its president in January 2025 following the retirement of President Bill Williams.

In his new role, Hirsch plans to focus on continuous improvement and is committed to helping operators reach families through meaningful, convenient means. He also plans to introduce opportunities to streamline services, benefiting current and new clients.

Hirsch previously served as senior vice president of the Funeral & Cemetery Trust Division at FSI’s parent company, Argent Trust.

Beginning in January 2025, Williams transitioned to a new role as a consultant with FSI. In addition to assisting leadership during the transition, he will represent the company at industry events.

Williams’ leadership as president helped FSI grow its reach from one state to 34, increased trusts administered from six to more than 300 and grew its client roster from 150 to more than 1,300. Williams also led efforts to build an IT department that developed user- and staff-friendly technology that enabled the company to become a nationwide leader in deathcare trust administration. He wrote and lobbied for passage of Florida’s first unitrust laws for cemetery endowment care trusts as well. fsitrust.com
