Who We Are - Your Integration Team
By now, you know that your business is merging with Foundation Partners Group. And you might have mixed feelings about that.
We understand that even though this partnership has many benefits for you and your community, it’s a big change. Change is tough, even when it’s change that brings more support, better benefits, and the potential to serve more families.
We also know that you don’t know us – but that’s about to change, too. We created this page just for you so that you can meet our team, learn what you can expect in the coming weeks and how we’re bridging the gap between our two companies.
We have a lot in common.
Between the three of us – Kristina, Cheri’, and Stephen – we have almost 100 years of experience in the funeral profession, and over a decade with Foundation Partners Group.
We’re trainers, but we’re also funeral professionals who have walked the walk (many miles). We are former funeral directors, embalmers, project managers, and field operations managers. We’ve worked in community outreach, administration, project management, and one-on-one with families in need.
Now, our goal is to help you.
