Hey there!
Our structure and strategy allows us to do things a bit differently.
Our history within the profession and experience outside the profession in marketing, media, and creative strategy poises us to out-think + out-create other agencies in this space.
Our Core Team
PRESIDENT
Michael Anderson
From a young age, Michael has been immersed in funeral service. After spending 13 years at Eli Lily, he returned to the family business with a determination to help families and funeral homes connect on a deeper level. His years in sales and familiarity with the funeral profession have led to deep bonds with partners and results-focused strategies. Michael’s free time is typically spent going on adventures with his family, coaching his children’s sports teams, or shredding it up on the golf course.
