Testimonials from Clients about our Funeral and Cemetery Consulting

Business Representation/Sale/Merger

“Without the diligent effort of The Foresight Companies through our challenging acquisition of Walton’s Funerals & Cremations, we would not have closed on our purchase of the company. We will forever be grateful to Doug, Chris and Dan for helping us make our dream become a reality!”

“The journey of allowing your funeral home to be acquired is a delicate one. You need to make sure that you partner with someone who has your best interests at the forefront and will honor your legacy. The Foresight team did just that. When looking at our choices for advisors and consultants, choosing Foresight was the best decision we could have made for our family and our business.”

On the sale of West Virginia Memorial Group by the Jersey Memorial Group:

“Selling your business is a difficult decision, but who to sell your business with is easy, for me it was Foresight. Their unparalleled experience in death care was evident in every point of my transaction. I always felt that they put my needs first and ultimately brought together a great conclusion between the future owner of the businesses that we worked so hard to build.”

Strategic Performance Analysis and Business Representation

“Having a 30+ year relationship with The Foresight Companies was one of the best business decisions we ever made. Implementing their strategic performance analysis was an eye-opener! It taught us the financial discipline needed to operate our business as efficiently as possible to maximize profits. Then, once we decided to sell the business, our business valuation and financials were already in the hands of Foresight, which allowed them to bring us to market quick. Foresight’s experience and guidance through the sales process was invaluable! ”

Business Representation

“As funeral directors, we ask families to trust us with important tasks and decisions. When it came time for us to trust someone to guide the sale of our 53-year, family owned firm, we chose The Foresight Companies and could not be more pleased. Foresight spent countless hours in helping us understand not only the process, but also the emotions and feelings that are often part of these transactions. In doing so, Foresight not only earned our respect, confidence and trust, but became like family.”

Business Acquisition and Financing

“The Foresight Companies helped my wife and I fulfill our dreams of purchasing and obtaining financing for our first funeral home. The moment we contacted Foresight, we knew we were in good hands. They know the funeral industry inside and out. We would recommend Foresight to anyone looking to purchase or sell their funeral home.”

Strategic Performance Analysis

“Partnering with Foresight and their strategic performance analysis service gives me the functionality and brain trust to have in-house as a small family-owned business. It’s what gives us the edge to be competitive in the ever-evolving funeral landscape.”

Business Representation

"I am pleased to report a very positive and successful experience with the recent sale of our business represented by The Foresight Companies.

All communications were handled with the utmost confidentiality and professionalism. Our views and opinions were properly communicated to the buyers. Certain non-negotiable issues were handled with appropriate circumspection and did not become “deal breakers”. All during the negotiation and contract process, Foresight kept the buyers and us informed and up to date on issues that could have, but did not, become contentious.

I would give The Foresight Companies A+ marks on professionalism, negotiation skills, industry insight, understanding both buyers and sellers needs and communication. A very difficult and emotional process was practically painless and completed on the timetable and terms originally agreed in the handshake and Letter of Intent."
