After being approached by several firms to purchase our funeral home, none of them felt right until Milestone came along. After meeting with Seb, TJ & Mike we believed in their approach and vision of the funeral industry. Being able to continue doing what welove has made all the difference. Going on two years partnering with them, we know it was the right decision!

"As a person who has spent the entirety of his adult life in the funeral business, I can attest to the culture of Milestone as being one of passion and autonomy. The term 'family funeral home' is ingrained in those of us who grew up in the business and partnering with Milestone allows that term to still have meaning whilst also gaining access to better employee benefits, salaries, stability and opportunity for career advancement. Me and my team have benefited greatly from our partnership with this company and have been invigorated with a renewed excitement for this field that we've dedicated our lives to..."

With the support of their incredible accounting team, tech support, compliance assistance, preplanning materials, and marketing expertise, we now have access to resources we never had before. This partnership has empowered us to expand our services to better serve the families in our community in ways we never could have imagined.
