StoneMor Partners

What StoneMor Partners does

StoneMor Partners, now operating as Everstory Partners, is the second-largest deathcare company in the United States, providing cemetery, funeral, and cremation services through a network of more than 460 licensed providers across 23 states and Puerto Rico. The company serves over 66,000 families annually under consumer-facing sub-brands including Memorial Planning and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia cemetery network. Its service portfolio spans at-need (immediate) and pre-need (pre-planned) funeral arrangements, burials, cremations, and related memorial products, with revenue generated through one-time service contracts and recurring pre-need plan subscriptions.

The company has invested more than $75 million over three years in facility renovations across its 460 locations and has transitioned approximately 400 cemeteries from paper-based to digitized contract management, complemented by aerial drone mapping of grounds. Distribution is delivered entirely through owned and operated physical locations (funeral homes, cemeteries, and cremation facilities), with quote-based, customized pricing tied to family-specific service selections. Customer acquisition is largely local and relationship-driven, supported by digital content marketing across LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube under the Memorial Planning brand. Recent activity indicates an active acquisition strategy (Franklin Memorial Park, June 2026) and continued capital investment in network modernization.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Service Corporation International: The largest U.S. deathcare company (Dignity Memorial brand), operating cemeteries, funeral homes, and cremation services nationally. Most directly comparable given overlap in product mix, scale, and pre-need contracting model.
• Carriage Services: Public deathcare provider (NYSE: CSV) operating cemeteries and funeral homes across the U.S. with a similar mix of at-need services, pre-need contracts, and acquisition-led growth; closest mid-cap direct peer.
• Foundation Partners Group: Privately held operator of funeral homes and cemeteries across the U.S., backed by Foundation Insurance. Competes directly for acquisitions in fragmented local markets and shares the pre-need revenue model.
• NorthStar Memorial Group: Private deathcare platform operating cemeteries and funeral homes across multiple U.S. states. Direct competitor for both greenfield development and acquisition of independent operators.

Broad incumbents

• Park Lawn Corporation: Canadian-listed (TSX: PLC) deathcare provider with growing U.S. footprint. Operates cemeteries, funeral homes, and cremation centers; comparable business model with cross-border expansion overlap.
• Dignity plc: U.K.-listed deathcare company operating funeral homes and crematoria primarily in the UK. Comparable pre-need contracting model and brand-driven strategy, though geographically distinct.

Regional players

• InvoCare: Australia/NZ-listed deathcare operator (ASX: IVC) running funeral homes, cemeteries, and crematoria across Australia and New Zealand. Comparable multi-site deathcare platform, though serving a different geography.

Others

• StoneMor Partners (legacy public entity): Predecessor public entity of Everstory Partners (NYSE: STON). Same underlying operating business prior to rebrand and privatization; useful historical baseline for performance trends.
• Saul Centers: REIT that has historically invested in cemetery property and operated mixed-use real estate. Indirectly comparable given Everstory's significant real-estate/land-bank component from cemetery ownership.
• Trustwell Living / National Western Life (cemetery trust providers): Providers of preneed trust and insurance products that fund cemetery and funeral services. Ecosystem participants rather than direct operators, but enable Everstory's pre-need contract revenue stream.
