Making the decision to sell your firm is one of the biggest decisions any owner will ever face in his or her career. Whether you've built it from the ground up, bought it from a competitor or employer, or carried the family torch that has been lit for generations, there is much to contemplate. And you don't take it lightly.

Neither do we.

With unparalleled experience in funeral home, cemetery and crematory acquisitions and operations, SCI is the decided leader in our profession throughout North America. We're proud whenever a firm - and its owners and employees - join our family.

Some may have the misguided perception that transitioning their firm into the SCI family has less-than-desirable connotations, implications or even results. With a high degree of intentionality toward good transitional experiences, strong employee training and proven systems and back office support, we're confident in our efforts and outcomes. After all, when we invest in your firm, we have as much interest in its future success as you do!

The Former Owner Spotlight includes a candid conversation with a former owner who has transitioned his or her firm into the SCI family. We ask them to openly share their experience here with honesty and transparency - the good things as well as the challenges.
