— FOR OWNERS
If you're thinking about what comes next, we should be on your short list.
Selling a funeral home is not the same as selling a software company or a strip mall. Your name is on the building. Your coworkers are watching. Your community is paying attention. This page exists for one purpose — to give you enough information to decide whether starting a conversation with us makes sense.
— THE CASE
Three reasons owners choose us over the
obvious alternatives.
You have options. The largest national operator will give you a number. A private equity firm will give you a faster number. Most owners we talk to are not optimizing for the highest number — they are optimizing for the right number, paid by the right buyer, with the right outcome for the people they leave behind.
01
We operate.
Our cremation rate is 80%. Our fleet runs. Our crematories are modern. Our coworkers stay. Last year we served 2,086 families — up from 1,180 four years ago. We grew because we run the business well, not because the market handed us share.
02
We honor what you built.
Your brand stays on the door. Your community keeps its relationship. Your coworkers keep their jobs — and in most cases, their advancement is faster, not slower. The name on the building was there for a reason. We keep it there.
03
The deal works.
You're talking to the people who will sign the check — Corey and Jen Gaffney. Not an acquisition committee. Not an analyst with a deck. We can be discreet. We can be fast. We can structure creatively. The first conversation is a conversation, not a pitch.
— EVIDENCE
Numbers we're comfortable sharing.
Most acquisition pitches lead with how the buyer feels. We prefer to lead with what they can show. These are the operational facts that have built the company we run today — and the same facts that will continue to build the company we hand to you, your coworkers, and your community after you exit.
From 1,180 to 2,086 families in four years.
We aren't growing because the demographic wave has arrived. It hasn't yet. We're growing because we have been taking market share from competitors who haven't retooled. Your business benefits from that same engine on day one.
80% cremation rate. Built for it.
Most operators run a burial-era business and watch margins shrink as cremation rises. We've already done the retool — modern crematories, holding capacity, efficient case flow. The model your business will need in 10 years already runs here.
Zero open positions across all locations.
The rest of the profession is short-staffed. We are fully staffed because of how we run the company. Your coworkers will land in a place where the talent is good, the culture is steady, and advancement is real.
Capital expenditure that shows up in the facility.
Two new hearses this quarter. New crematories. Construction underway to hold 160 decedents at peak. We invest in the assets that make a family's experience consistent — and in the ones that protect margin during volume swings.
— HOW A CONVERSATION GOES
Four steps. None of them obligate you to anything.
Most owners we talk to are not yet sure they want to sell. That is fine. We are not trying to push you toward a decision — we are trying to give you the information that helps you make one. Here is how it usually unfolds.
01
A private call.
Direct to Corey. Thirty minutes. No deck, no analyst on the line, no follow-up unless you ask for one. We will tell you what we know about your market, ask what you're solving for, and answer whatever's on your mind.
02
A free valuation.
Built off the established industry formulas, applied to your actual numbers. We share the inputs we use and how we got to the output. If you want a second opinion, we will help you find one.
03
Your options, on paper
What an outright sale looks like. What a structured exit looks like. What staying involved as an advisor or operating partner looks like. The mechanics, the timing, the people who would be in the room.
04
You decide.
If selling is right, we move. If selling is not right, you walk away with information you didn't have before — and a number we are willing to honor if circumstances change. That is the deal.
— FREE VALUATION
A real number, built from real numbers.
Most owners are working from a number they heard at a conference or a number a competitor mentioned. Both are guesses. We build a valuation off the 60-year-old industry formulas applied to your actual call volume, at-need and preneed mix, real estate, and contract liabilities — and we explain every input.
The valuation is yours to keep, regardless of whether we ever do business together. If you sell to someone else, take it with you. If you decide not to sell at all, use it for estate planning. We provide it because it's useful, not because it obligates anyone.

"If you own a funeral home, you've spent years building something that means something to your family and your community. The way you exit it ought to mean something too."
