Partner With Us

Built on our values

Our Operational Philosophy

At Park Lawn, our operational philosophy is what the most successful owners of funeral homes and cemeteries have done for decades: create a strong culture at the business where each employee is respected and personally committed to serving the families in their community at a very high level. This philosophy is built on the three pillars of our values: Respect for the Family, Respect for the Individual and Respect for the Profession.

The only way this philosophy is created and cultivated is to empower the leadership in each business to make the key business decisions in that business . . . just like an owner would. Park Lawn’s talented, highly experienced, senior leadership’s sole purpose is to provide these community leaders and employees the resources, tools, and support necessary to make the correct decisions in serving the families in their community.

Partnership

Your Next Chapter

Partnering with Park Lawn is truly a partnership, one which we are very passionate about. In line with our operational philosophy, we strive to ensure every business retains its identity and maintains its legacy to those families they have served while continuing to provide for the community going forward at the level they expect. The decision and timing to partner is very personal for every business owner, each having their own concerns, thoughts, questions, and vision of what their life looks after, or with, Park Lawn. Below are common questions a business owner considering partnering with Park Lawn may have.

What are the main benefits of a Partnership?

Beyond accomplishing an owner’s succession goals, the business will gain an entire support network. This includes access to and support from our legal team, financial reporting and analysis group, operational leaders (both regionally and locally), full Human Resource functions, complete IT support and more. This support network allows our businesses to focus on serving their families and community.

What are the first steps?

The first step is always a conversation. We want to understand what has brought you to this consideration, the legacy of your business, your goals, your concerns, and where you envision yourself at the end of the process. The next step would lead to an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) and providing basic financial and operational data for our internal review. From here, discussions are continued, a site visit may be suitable and hopefully coming to an agreement to move forward with a partnership. If you would like to start the conversation, please reach out any time via email to [email protected] or give us a call at 281-453-1260.

What can I expect during the process?

The process that begins after an agreement has been reached is complex and multifaceted. We are honored to have a business join the Park Lawn family; therefore, we treat the process with compassion, respect and efficiency. Rest assured; you will be guided every step of the way by an experienced team that will meet you wherever you are. Our combined experience allows us to navigate through any unique, complicated, and emotional aspects that we may encounter along the way. Whether you are represented, or not, our team is 100% dedicated to our business owners throughout and after the process. We strive to provide the same level of service to our future business partners as they provide to their families today.
