As outside-of-the-box thinkers, we ask death care professionals thoughtful questions such as, "how would you like your business to go down in history?"
Our Focus
What kinds of businesses do we invest in?
We aim to form partnerships with small-to-mid-sized, down-to-earth, family-oriented funeral homes and cemeteries in the American Midwest. We find that these businesses tend to have a close tie to their community, a strong reputation, and high potential for growth.
Preserving the legacies of family-operated funeral homes and cemeteries is vital for both growth and community service. We partner with previous ownership and management to ensure to uphold their values and traditions.
