Well, this is the only way you can communicate with this company. They won’t listen to anyone who asks a question or voices an opinion. Those people are seen as trouble makers and disrespectful. If you try talking to them, your told to deal with it or get out. That was my answer.. That is what this company does to its "loyal" employees. 
You have a ZERO chance of being promoted here. Upper management thinks the people who are still with the company are only here because they don’t have any other options and aren’t worth anything. They use that as an excuse to promote their buddies and BFFs from other industries. The 
head of sales keeps bringing people from elder care who are clueless but hey, they are all making great money now. SMH. They think bring soup to people will help get sales. Really, I can’t make this stuff up. That’s what they think we need to do. Everyone sees why the company is failing, except for them.  The two industries aren’t even close, but they think so. 
The midwest used to be the best region in the company.... until someone hired their BFF to run it.... who has no clue or industry experience. Hasn’t even been in most of the parks, doesn’t even live in the same time zones and is listening to the wrong people. Has conferences calls so YOU can explain how YOU are going to fix things. Zero coaching. Always says they are here to help but I am still waiting on answers to questions I asked over 6 months ago.  Do you want to help? Show up at a location and pick up a kit.... lead by example. Show people how it’s done. Wait.... that won’t happen. Upper management couldn’t sit with a family. They have no idea. Most general managers don’t either. That’s where you are missing the boat. Our old management team, any one of them could sit with a family and sell, including the regionals. They knew the challenges and objections. They really could help and coach. Now, most general managers  (none of the upper management) could even help in their own locations. Most can’t write a contract or even know pricing. 
 General managers? Please.... most weren’t good at the jobs they were doing before becoming general managers. Management wanted people with no experience so they can train them the way they wanted to and they were hired by people who just started  with the company.... Had no idea who these people were and how they did their jobs before. The ones who were admin before are sooo far over their heads..... 
The general managers are lying to upper management. Most blaming the sales managers and team. Here is a free clue... if it wasn’t for your sales team...the ship would be on the bottom of the ocean. There are general managers who babysit grandkids full time and sleeps in till 11 am, most days.  They have everyone  fooled. Most are never in a location but say they are.   Most will throw sales under the bus to save themselves but take all the credit when they hit budget. The GM call..... it’s like the Stepford Wives. No one asks questions and everyone agrees to everything that is said. 
Weekend numbers? Are you kidding?? "Sorry Mr. Customer, my company says I have to write business on the weekends. I know you can come on Tues but I have to see you on Sat or Sun”. What customer would come in on a weekend, in the summer months, if they could come during the week??? NONE! But that’s what these people think should happen. If you not at $10k on the weekend, something is wrong. Here is another free tip; it’s called sandbagging.... at least the old management was smart enough to figure that out. The numbers were skewed. 
We are hemorrhaging people.... these people really think it’s actually as easy as just hire more people. By the time they figure out it doesn’t work like that, this company will be bankrupt. They want to manage out the trouble makers and high producers. What? This is the philosophy in the Midwest. There is not an ounce of loyalty. Just get rid of them.  They have a list of people they are getting rid of. Is that even legal?
Please start treating your field employees better and start holding upper management more accountable. It’s not the field locations fault they have bad upper management. Here’s another thought.... if you want to know how bad it is in the field .... Ask them. Most will tell you. All these conference calls....one on one calls... do them without the general managers. They are like bad helicopter parents. They’re only around so you can’t speak your mind. 
Beg your old sales management team to come back. Unless you are purposely trying to bankrupt this company so someone like SCI can take over.

This has been one of the most unsatisfying, stressful, morally bankrupt jobs I’ve taken in my entire life. There were fleeting moments of fulfillment when working with these grieving families, but it’s mostly a heartbreaking gig. You can make more working at Chipotle than you will at Stonemor. And you’ll probably be more appreciated too. 

First, the company does not have any sort of training procedure for new hires. You are basically told to shadow someone doing the job and then you’re thrown to the wolves and expected to keep up with the intense workload that is required of you. The training that does exist are sloppily made presentations by people that do not know how to create a presentation that have not helped me or anyone around me. 

Then, we get into the work, which is a lot of duplicate work to fulfill whatever spreadsheet the company wants to use that week. Seriously, there were constant spreadsheets being made for every aspect of the job. There also seems to be an effort to keep positions understaffed, as they just ask employees at other locations to pick up the slack if another location isn’t doing well. That means that you may be punished or given much more work for another location’s inadequacy. And the turnover rate of employees is HIGH. I’ve seen 8 employees leave my location within a 1 month period because of how poorly ran it all was. Another location I worked at had only one employee for over 8 months and did not hire any more. 

That takes me to management and holy cow is this bad. The one and only thing that I heard from my corporate "leaders" was "make more sales" and they did not care about anything else. Our park and facilities were falling apart and there was no effort to put money back into our park to fix things and keep up the presentation. Try selling thousands of dollars worth of crypts in a mausoleum with a broken window, gnat infestation, and awful roads. Or try selling a funeral package in a funeral home with stained carpets, no running water, and no employees. It’s not easy, and the less we sold, the more they asked us to stay over and make appointments. They do not care about you or your life. I was told by our AVP that I essentially do not matter to her. And I believed her. She oversaw two entire states and was only ever in it for herself. As long as she made budget, she got her bonus. Putting money into hiring employees or fixing parks only reduced her bonus. You can start to see the error in the incentive structure here. 

No one I worked with was happy. It was a cesspool of people who wanted so badly to not work for Stonemor anymore. That kind of energy in the workplace does not lead to productivity. It leads to a miserable life where you come home emotionally and mentally drained after a day of grieving families and nonsense corporate requirements. You do not want to be the one asking a grieving parent to pay thousands of dollars in fees before being able to bury their child. 

As an office manager at one of the largest parks in the company, I made $16 an hour. An insulting wage for what I was doing. There really aren’t any ways to move up within the company either. My AVP even told me to my face that this was a dead end job and compared it to a McDonald’s employee. That’s what they think of you. After running three separate locations for months due to understaffing, I voiced my concern to my AVP who told me then that if I wanted to quit than I should. No effort to make things better or make her employees happier. Just completed disregarded.

Now, the company has a new CEO as of about 6 months ago, so one can only hope that she will take the company in the right direction, but as of right now there is no indication of that happening. 

Steer clear of this one. 



I’ve worked in administration for 15 + years, 4 years at Stonemor. Never in my life have I ever worked for a company this disorganized. They restructure their upper management every year. They say it’s to improve us as a whole, but what they really mean is they have to get rid of the high paying salaries so they can pay their bills. It’s no secret Stonemor is not doing well financially. Before I started here, they appeared to be doing well, but it’s gone down hill quickly. 

The most recent restructuring has been a nightmare. Everyone is clueless. There is no support and they keep adding more and more to our plate. My location was drastically understaffed and when I asked for help, no one could help me. Don’t even think of working overtime to keep up though. That’s not allowed. The company cannot keep sales staff. It’s cut throat, lousy pay, and they are taught to prey on grieving families. They are told in training to meet with the next of kin within 3 days of the funeral because that is when they are most vulnerable. They are upset and not thinking clearly, so it’s a great opportunity to close that sale. I’ve had multiple counselors tell me this. So it’s not surprising to anyone when they don’t stick around long. It’s an endless cycle. I have lost track of how many counselors I’ve met while working here. It’s a revolving door, so as a one administrator park, a lot of sales duties fell to me with no extra compensation. It was very stressful trying to keep up with my duties while taking care of families. 

The cemeteries are an absolute mess. The roads are falling apart, the mausoleums need repair, the roof’s have tarps on them, and the mowing crew only comes about once a month. Families came in screaming all summer that we are disgraceful for the way we treat their loved ones, especially after they have paid for perpetual care. And that’s not just at my location. It’s across the board. There are news stories about other stonemor locations and how they don’t take care of their grounds. It’s embarrassing and I’m ashamed to have worked for this company. I hate to say that but it’s true. I was scared to death I would end up with a local news station on our door one day. Thankfully that didn’t happen while I was there but I feel it’s only a matter of time. 

I feel like this could have been a good place to work for. I did enjoy helping the families. 2 years ago I probably would have rated it 3 stars. But then they furloughed us for a week to pay their shareholders and that was it for me. The search was on. The pay sucks for the amount of work you’re expected to do and the stress that goes along with it. It used to be the flexibility that kept me here, but they took that way too. They do not care for their employees at all and they care for the families they service even less. 

I would not recommend this company to anyone. Maybe going forward they will turn things around, but right now there is no stability. It’s a sinking ship.

I have been with the company about a year, and it is a Joke.
I love the Cemetery that I work at, and I love my co workers, but Corporate is a whole other story.
At our location, we feel like corporate doesn't even know we exist. There is VERY POOR communication within the company. 
Our Grounds crew doesn't even make a decent amount of money, even though they're the ones out in the horrible weather, digging graves and making sure the cemetery is up to customer standards (because the customers care more than corporate does). If you're looking for a job in grounds, I hope you have a 2nd income, because they are the least paid employees, except when a Sales advisor doesn't make enough for commission and they get minimum wage. 
Corporate got rid of all of the upper management who knows what they're doing, and replaced them with their own Friends, out of a different industry.
The company is more dollar focused, than customer focused, but I guess you have to if you're company is going under.
Customers get mad when there is something wrong with the cemetery, which makes sense, but instead of using each locations Perpetual care for that location specifically, that customers pay in FOR THEIR LOCATIONS, they divvy it out to cemeteries that are failing, causing all to fail.
They just changed the structure of their company to add General Managers, yet all of the general managers were just promoted out of the sales departments, and have no clue what to do for Admin or Grounds. 
Sales is the only department Corporate cares about. Sales gets off site training, PAID, plus company vacations. While maintenance cant even get paid decent, and Admin gets ZERO training other than what some "upper management" "training" you over Google Hangouts. 
The only reason you will learn anything at this company is if you have someone who hasn't given up, and they have enough knowledge to teach you what they know. 

You get projects thrown at you at the end of each quarter with no time to get it completed properly, or they don't even have a system in place that wont crash the GOOGLE DOC that they created for over 300 locations to use. 

I was promoted after the old Administator was ran out of her job, and I received zero training. As corporate would reach out to ask why things weren't done or done correctly, I would have to explain myself over and over about having no training, and no one cares. It just goes in one ear and out the other, but they probably didn't hear me in the first place since they all work at home and any time you try to talk to one of them, you hear all of their animals/kids making noise in the background. 

Do not expect any kind of positive or timely conversation from this company whether you are an employee or a customer, they simply do not care, they're too busy thinking of ways to make money, like handing out soup? Because now we are a soup kitchen.

After my first 60 days with Everstory Partners, my experience has been very positive. The company has a collaborative culture where employees genuinely work together to achieve common goals. Leadership does a good job of clearly defining expectations, which has made onboarding into a new role much smoother.

A typical day involves working with cross-functional teams, developing processes, supporting field operations, and helping drive continuous improvement initiatives. I've learned a great deal about the deathcare industry, as well as how a large, geographically dispersed organization operates. There are opportunities to make meaningful contributions and positively impact the business.

Management has been supportive, approachable, and willing to provide the resources needed to be successful. Communication across departments has been strong, and there is a noticeable focus on teamwork and continuous improvement.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of the job is the flexibility and work-life balance. The remote work environment allows me to be productive while maintaining a healthy balance between work and personal life. The people I've worked with have been welcoming, knowledgeable, and committed to helping one another succeed.

The most challenging part of the job has simply been learning a new industry and becoming familiar with the company's systems and processes. However, the support from coworkers and leadership has made that learning curve much easier.

Overall, Everstory Partners has been a great place to work, and I'm excited to continue growing with the company. Compensation is competitive, communication is strong, and the culture is one that encourages collaboration and accountability. While the benefits package is good overall, there is still room for improvement, particularly with healthcare benefits.

It was once a good Company to work for. NOT ANY MORE,!  The restructuring of the company  is changing constantly, and with each, seems to be getting worse.  Many good employees have been let go,  and many others have quit. The ones they have kept are some of the ones that needed to go!,  The company has gone through CEOs  CFO,s  COO,s  and Presidents since 2017. Should tell you something about their stability.  
    Communication is at the very best HORRIBLE!!  As is the Leadership. 
    I’ve read some other reviews  on this site. They are point on ! 
The company has absolute no regard for employees,  Heavy in VP,s and RVP,s and then AVPs.  Most  promoted with all the restructuring shouldn’t be there. And have even less regard for employees. Treat them like they are not people. The new GM roll they created would have been good, however most of them put in that position are not qualified, and have no experience. 
  The standard Company answer given on this site is BOGUS!  They don’t mean a word of it , but that’s how they operate . 
Beware of some of the very few positive reviews.  I know that employees have been asked to post some of them.  The Company mission statement  “ Every Burial With Dignity”  should be followed with “  If there is something else we can sell you and your Family”
   If you like to be lied to,  abused,  unappreciated,  demeaned and work for a company in chaos  then you found the company. 
    If you want to help people and really care this is not the company for you
    There was a slight chance this company could have turned around. The wrong people were kept  and promoted . The ones that actually did care and not out for themselves  are the ones that are gone. 
  Sadly as the good people left or were terminated, the ones moved up lack ANY integrity!!! 
      Theft, lies, and unethical practices are rapid in this Company. If you have an issue there is no one to go too. HR once unbiased, are no longer. Don’t even look into issues! 
    There may be company policies but now  are only in place to be used when they wish them to be. 
  IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF INTEGRITY, ETHICAL, And HAVE ANY SELF RESPECT STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!

One review said it all "Never in my entire professional life have I felt like I needed an actual psychiatric evaluation afterwards". This company needs to implement a death care management system instead of using spreadsheets, DOS, and the handful of other software programs. This company uses manilla file folders to extract information instead of using a proper computerized management system. Files are always missing/misplaced and not put together in an orderly fashion. 
The role of Administrator is overwhelming and the pay is miniscule compared to the workload and responsibility. You are required to duplicate (quadruplicate even) information across spreadsheets, DOS and reports to corporate. 
The "Admin Resource" is a spreadsheet with a jumbled mess of links to documents in Google drive which require you to read through a word salad just to get an answer that doesn't really address your issue very well. I lasted 10 months at this job and I tried SO hard to make it work, but without the proper systems, procedures and training in place, it makes for a very frustrating and stressful situation. I quit this job without having another one lined up because my wellbeing and peace is more important than the stress and frustration experienced doing this job. I suppose if one didn't care about doing the job properly and only wanted to collect a paycheck, then yeah, it would work; but I enjoy doing a job properly and completely so as to feel accomplished at the end of the day.  
My GM was amazing and most of my coworkers were also, all of whom I will miss. I feel for the families who go through the frustration of dealing with such an unorganized company during their most painful and important part of their lives. Hopefully the new CEO fix this mess of a corporation. 


In my role, I have the flexibility to manage my own workflow, which keeps me consistently engaged without feeling overwhelmed. Although I’m still relatively new to this organization, I’ve been able to apply my prior expertise to refine existing procedures and help streamline operations. Professional development is clearly encouraged, with support for continued education and licensing.

Management is both direct and supportive, open to new ideas, and receptive to feedback. The workplace culture is collaborative, friendly, and relaxed, with team members who readily help one another. One challenge involves improving some inherited processes while simultaneously laying the groundwork for more efficient, future-facing methods. Thankfully, there’s always a supportive group to brainstorm solutions and provide encouragement.

What I enjoy most is seeing the tangible impact of my efforts. By developing and refining processes, I know I’m making the organization’s day-to-day functions smoother and more effective. Having my ideas considered and implemented is incredibly satisfying, and it’s clear that this environment truly values growth, innovation, and meaningful contributions.

My experience at Everstory Partners ultimately led me to resign, and I cannot recommend the company as an employer based on my personal experience.

I entered this position with more than 17 years of experience in funeral service as a licensed funeral director, embalmer, and preneed professional. I intentionally did not emphasize my background during my employment because I wanted to observe the leadership, training, and overall knowledge within the organization without my experience influencing how I was treated. That experience only confirmed my concerns.

In my opinion, many of the managers lacked the industry knowledge, leadership skills, and understanding of funeral service necessary to effectively lead licensed professionals and support the employees under them. Communication was inconsistent, guidance was limited, and there was little evidence of the mentorship or professional development that should exist in an organization serving families during life's most difficult moments.

Funeral service is a profession that demands compassion, integrity, expertise, and knowledgeable leadership. Employees deserve managers who understand the profession, respect experienced staff, and create an environment where people can succeed while providing exceptional care to families.

Although I appreciated the opportunity to serve the families in my community, my experience with leadership did not meet the professional standards I have come to expect after more than 17 years in this field. I hope Everstory Partners invests in experienced, educated leaders who understand funeral service and value the knowledge and contributions of the professionals they hire.

While Sales is treated to at least 10 days training, all other groups are on the job only.  Higher management never involves themselves in any initial training for other groups -- all left to location.  Slow to respond to questions or to even be found when need immediate assistance at location.  When additional training done later, lack of access, poor instructions,and questions not always answered. Can't even log into all training casts. A lot of locations can't even sign up for as too few classes offered and they are full when email to sign up rolls out.

Everything is 100% sales focused - no longer seems customer focused.  Phrase is thrown about - but don't see applied.

Also rules that apply to Grounds and Admin do not always apply to Sales. Since Sales Manager gets bonus for meeting his quota, he doesn't care if done right, by rules, or even legally.  Does not provide  documentation for non conforming prices - dumps on admin to provide docs that would support future audits.  It's all his way, or no way.    Seems like general manager is supporting bad behavior - acts like he is supporting the other groups but it is just about sales.  

Profit that is earned at location is not sunk back into location.  Place is falling apart.  It is a disgrace. 

Administration has project after project assigned to them when there is rarely enough time to get their regular jobs completed each week.  They are not allowed to work overtime to get a project done, so there is a lot of stress.  There is so much more that needs to get done by my location but we are being told we are going to have to help Sales even more than we already do so won't be able to get a lot of the work we need to get done such as getting all of our data into online files,
